CVE-2007-6266 in bcoos
Summary
by MITRE
Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in bcoos 1.0.10 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via (1) the gid parameter to modules/arcade/index.php in a show_stats action, or the lid parameter to (2) modules/myalbum/ratephoto.php or (3) modules/mylinks/ratelink.php, different vectors than CVE-2007-5104.

The vulnerability identified as CVE-2007-6266 represents a critical SQL injection flaw affecting bcoos content management system versions 1.0.10 and earlier. This vulnerability manifests across multiple modules within the application, creating diverse attack vectors that enable remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands. The flaw specifically targets parameter handling in three distinct modules including modules/arcade/index.php with the gid parameter during show_stats action, and modules/myalbum/ratephoto.php along with modules/mylinks/ratelink.php using lid parameters. These vulnerabilities fall under the broader category of CWE-89 SQL Injection as defined by the Common Weakness Enumeration standard, which categorizes the weakness as a condition where user-provided input is directly incorporated into SQL queries without proper sanitization or parameterization.
The technical exploitation of this vulnerability occurs when attackers manipulate the gid and lid parameters to inject malicious SQL code into the database queries. When the application processes these parameters without adequate input validation or sanitization, the injected SQL commands execute with the privileges of the database user, potentially allowing attackers to extract sensitive data, modify database contents, or even gain unauthorized access to the underlying database system. The attack vectors differ from CVE-2007-5104, indicating that this represents a separate but related class of SQL injection vulnerabilities within the same software ecosystem. The exploitation requires minimal privileges since the vulnerability exists at the application layer where user input directly influences database operations.
The operational impact of CVE-2007-6266 extends beyond simple data theft, as successful exploitation can lead to complete system compromise through database manipulation. Attackers could potentially escalate privileges, modify user accounts, or extract confidential information stored within the application's database. The vulnerability affects multiple modules simultaneously, increasing the attack surface and providing attackers with several potential entry points. According to ATT&CK framework, this vulnerability maps to T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application, as it targets publicly accessible web interfaces that are part of the application's attack surface. The remote nature of the exploit means that attackers do not require physical access to the system, making the vulnerability particularly dangerous for web applications accessible over the internet.
Mitigation strategies for CVE-2007-6266 should focus on implementing proper input validation and parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection attacks. The recommended approach involves updating to bcoos version 1.0.11 or later, which contains patches addressing these vulnerabilities. Organizations should also implement web application firewalls to detect and block malicious SQL injection attempts, while applying proper input sanitization techniques such as prepared statements and stored procedures. Additionally, regular security audits and penetration testing should be conducted to identify similar vulnerabilities in other application components. The implementation of principle of least privilege for database accounts and regular monitoring of database activities can further reduce the potential impact of successful exploitation attempts. Security teams should also consider implementing database activity monitoring solutions that can detect anomalous SQL query patterns indicative of injection attacks.
