As Christopher Kunz points out, Serendipity users should check out a new blog posting over on the CMS system's website concerning an immediate update they've released.   Serendipity 1.1.3 and 1.2-beta2 have been released due to a SQL injection attack reported by Dr. Neal Krawetz today. It is possible to abuse a 'commentMode' variable to inject SQL code that was targeted to the function that fetches comment information. This variable was introduced to Serendipity 1.1 - all prior versions are not affected.   They also suggest checking you access logs for a "commentMode" variable issued in requests to see if there were any kind of attacks made already. The fix is a simple matter of editing the functions_comments.inc.php file and replacing the line of code they give with the more secure versions. Again, this is recommended as an immediate upgrade for Serendipity users.

Even site keys aren't good enough if clever hackers take over a transaction via emerging techniques such as 'man-in-the-browser' attacks.

The Hardened-PHP Project has issued another advisory today, this time effecting the popular database administration package phpMyAdmin.    During an audit of phpMyAdmin's protection against CSRF: Cross Site Request Forgeries we discovered that there were multiple ways to bypass the protection.   The failure of phpMyAdmin's CSRF protection obviously means that a potential attacker can use CSRF attacks to trick the browser of a phpMyAdmin user to execute any kind of SQL queries on the victims database server.    The advisory mentions the source of the problem - a random token that is in the user's session that could be exploited to gain unauthorized access to an account. Their recommendation is to update to the latest version of phpMyAdmin (2.9.0.1 as of the time of this post) to help resolve the issue.

On DevShed today there's a new tutorial showing a method for preventing SQL injection attacks on your site - a MySQL table prefix changer.   Changing these [table] prefixes can be a tedious job if you had to do it manually. Even tools like phpMyAdmin don't provide a clean, quick method of doing this. But with a little help from PHP, we are able to create our own tool very quickly.   The tutorial follows the construction of the tool, making the modifications to the current database tables and pushing all of the changes back into the database.

As per suggestions contained in the FAQ: Herein lies a report of two identified and as-of-yet uncorrected security flaws in Scoop. &nbsp;Enough detail will be provided to assist admins in investigating and correcting the flaws, but it is the author's hope that the details of the flaws will be sufficiently obscured to prevent abuse by the undesirables. Executive summary: Through the exploitation of various unchecked privileged operations, attackers may be able to perform admin-level actions leading to data loss. &nbsp;Additionally, well-intentioned security measures combined with XSS vulnerabilities can be exercised to simulate admin-level action, resulting in data loss.

The FrSIRT site has posted a new advisory for users of the Vivvo Article Management CMS software about potential holes that could allow for some very large-scale damage to be done.    Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Vivvo Article Management CMS, which could be exploited by remote attackers to compromise a vulnerable server.   The first issue is due to an input validation error in the "pdf_version.php" script that does not validate the "id" parameter before being used in SQL statements, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.   The second vulnerability is due to an input validation error in the "index.php" script that do not validate the "classified_path" parameter, which may be exploited by remote attackers to include local or remote scripts with the privileges of the web server.    Versions 3.2 and higher of the software are effected, and, unfortunately, there has been no patch issued for the issue.
