CVE-2006-5830 in AIOCP
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in All In One Control Panel (AIOCP) 1.3.007 and earlier allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) topid, (2) forid, and (3) catid parameters to code/cp_forum_view.php; (4) choosed_language parameter to cp_dpage.php; (5) orderdir parameter to cp_links_search.php; (6) order_field parameter to (a) cp_show_ec_products.php and (b) cp_users_online.php; and the (7) signature and (8) fiscal code fields in the user profile.

The CVE-2006-5830 vulnerability represents a critical cross-site scripting flaw in All In One Control Panel version 1.3.007 and earlier, exposing multiple attack vectors that enable remote code execution through malicious web script injection. This vulnerability falls under the CWE-79 category of Cross-Site Scripting, specifically targeting input validation weaknesses in web application frameworks. The affected parameters span across multiple PHP scripts including code/cp_forum_view.php, cp_dpage.php, cp_links_search.php, cp_show_ec_products.php, and cp_users_online.php, indicating a systemic issue in the application's data sanitization processes. The vulnerability affects the core functionality of the control panel by allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts into user profile fields including signature and fiscal code, creating persistent XSS attack vectors that can compromise user sessions and data integrity.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through improper input validation and output encoding in the application's backend processing. Attackers can manipulate the topid, forid, and catid parameters in cp_forum_view.php to inject malicious JavaScript code that executes when other users view forum content. Similarly, the choosed_language parameter in cp_dpage.php and orderdir/order_field parameters in cp_links_search.php, cp_show_ec_products.php, and cp_users_online.php create additional injection points where attacker-controlled data is directly rendered without proper sanitization. The user profile fields signature and fiscal code represent particularly dangerous vectors as they are typically displayed in user-facing interfaces and can be leveraged to establish persistent XSS attacks that compromise user sessions and potentially escalate privileges within the control panel environment.
The operational impact of CVE-2006-5830 extends beyond simple data theft, as it enables sophisticated attack scenarios including session hijacking, credential theft, and potential privilege escalation within the compromised system. The vulnerability aligns with ATT&CK technique T1566.001 for Initial Access through Spearphishing Attachments and T1059.007 for Command and Scripting Interpreter, allowing attackers to establish persistent access through malicious script injection. Organizations using affected versions of AIOCP face significant risk of unauthorized access to administrative functions, data exfiltration, and potential lateral movement within their network infrastructure. The widespread nature of the vulnerability across multiple PHP scripts indicates that the underlying input validation framework requires comprehensive remediation rather than isolated patching approaches.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2006-5830 must address the root cause through comprehensive input validation and output encoding mechanisms. Organizations should implement strict parameter validation for all user-supplied input across the affected scripts, applying proper HTML entity encoding before rendering any dynamic content. The solution involves implementing proper sanitization routines that filter or escape special characters in all parameters including topid, forid, catid, choosed_language, orderdir, order_field, signature, and fiscal code fields. Security patches should be implemented immediately through official AIOCP updates, with organizations monitoring for any related vulnerabilities that may have been discovered since the initial reporting. Additionally, web application firewalls should be configured to detect and block suspicious input patterns, while regular security audits should validate that all input validation mechanisms are properly implemented and functioning across the entire application stack. The vulnerability demonstrates the critical importance of input validation in web applications and aligns with industry best practices outlined in OWASP Top Ten and NIST Cybersecurity Framework for preventing injection vulnerabilities.
