CVE-2007-0316 in All In One Control Panel
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in All In One Control Panel (AIOCP) 1.3.010 and earlier, when magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) xuser_name parameter to shared/code/cp_authorization.php, and the (2) did parameter to public/code/cp_downloads.php, different vectors than CVE-2007-0223.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2007-0316 represents a critical SQL injection flaw affecting All In One Control Panel version 1.3.010 and earlier installations. This vulnerability specifically exploits the absence of proper input sanitization mechanisms within the application's authentication and download handling components. The security weakness becomes particularly pronounced when the PHP configuration parameter magic_quotes_gpc is disabled, removing a crucial built-in protection mechanism that would otherwise escape special characters in GET, POST, and COOKIE data. The vulnerability manifests through two distinct attack vectors that target different file components within the AIOCP framework, creating multiple entry points for malicious actors to compromise the system.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs through direct manipulation of HTTP request parameters that are not properly validated or sanitized before being incorporated into database queries. The first vector targets the xuser_name parameter within the shared/code/cp_authorization.php file, while the second vector exploits the did parameter in public/code/cp_downloads.php. Both attack paths allow remote attackers to inject malicious SQL code that executes with the privileges of the database user account under which the AIOCP application operates. This fundamental flaw in input validation creates an environment where attackers can bypass authentication mechanisms, extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or even escalate their privileges within the system. The vulnerability directly maps to CWE-89 which defines SQL injection as the insertion of malicious SQL code into input fields for execution by the database, and aligns with ATT&CK technique T1190 which describes the use of SQL injection to gain unauthorized access to databases.
The operational impact of CVE-2007-0316 extends far beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation can result in complete system compromise and unauthorized access to sensitive user information. Attackers leveraging these vulnerabilities can potentially access user credentials, personal information, and system configuration data stored within the database. The attack vectors are particularly dangerous because they target core functionality components of the control panel, meaning that successful exploitation could provide attackers with administrative access to the entire system. The vulnerability's persistence across multiple file components increases the attack surface and makes comprehensive remediation more complex. Organizations running affected versions of AIOCP face significant risk of data breaches, system infiltration, and potential regulatory compliance violations, especially in environments where sensitive information is stored or processed. The lack of proper input validation in these critical system components creates a fundamental security weakness that undermines the integrity and confidentiality of the entire application ecosystem.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2007-0316 require immediate implementation of multiple defensive measures to address both the immediate vulnerability and underlying architectural weaknesses. The most effective immediate solution involves upgrading to a patched version of All In One Control Panel that properly implements input validation and sanitization techniques. Organizations should also implement proper parameterized queries or prepared statements throughout the application codebase to prevent SQL injection exploitation regardless of the magic_quotes_gpc setting. Input validation should be implemented at multiple layers including application-level sanitization, web application firewall rules, and database access controls to create defense-in-depth protection. Network segmentation and access controls should be implemented to limit the potential impact of successful exploitation attempts. Additionally, organizations should conduct comprehensive security audits of their applications to identify similar vulnerabilities in other components and establish regular security testing procedures including penetration testing and code reviews. The implementation of proper logging and monitoring mechanisms will also aid in detecting and responding to exploitation attempts, while adherence to security standards such as OWASP Top Ten and NIST cybersecurity frameworks will provide guidance for comprehensive vulnerability management.
