      PHPKit SQL Injection and XSS Vulnerabilities
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://www.phpkit.de> PHPKIT is "a modular developed homepage software
    which enables simple management messages contents, guest book, forums and
    more".

    Due to improper sanity validation checks it is possible for an attacker to
    manipulate an SQL query and launch cross site scripting attacks.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable Systems:
     * PHPKit version 1.6.03 to 1.6.1 inclusive

    The cross site scripting attack is viable through the exploitation of the
    'img' HTTP parameter in the 'popup.php' script. Example:
    http://www.target.com/phpkit/popup.php?img="><scr!pt>alert(document.cookie)</scr!pt>

    Manipulation of the SQL command sent to the database is possible via the
    'id' parameter in the 'include.php' script. Example:
    http://www.target.com/phpkit/include.php?path=guestbook/print.php&id=1'

    The relevant piece of code is:
    <?php
    if (isset($_REQUEST['id'])) $id=$_REQUEST['id'];
    $gbookinfo=$DB->fetch_array($DB->query("SELECT * FROM ".$db_tab['gbook']."
    WHERE gbook_id='".$id."' LIMIT 1"));
    eval ("\$site_body.= \"".getTemplate("guestbook/print")."\";");
    ?>
