Security Advisory: Cross-site Scripting and SQL Injection in OrderSys

Information

Advisory by Netsparker (now Invicti)
Name: XSS and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities in OrderSys
Software: OrderSys 1.6.4 and possibly below.
Vendor Homepage: http://www.bioinformatics.org/phplabware/labwiki/index.php
Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting and SQL Injection
Severity: Critical
Researcher: Canberk Bolat
Advisory Reference: NS-12-007

Description

The OrderSys system was originally developed at an academic research laboratory to simplify the filling of order forms that could be printed for handing over to a departmental office that processed the orders. The details for items and vendors, and order histories, could be stored in tables of a MySQL database, thereby saving time and effort of looking up catalog numbers, price, etc., budgeting, order follow-ups, and preventing unnecessary ordering as well as illegibilities inherent to handwritten ordering. The system can be easily used for other purposes.

Details

OrderSys is affected by XSS and SQL Injection vulnerabilities in version 1.6.4.
Example PoC URLs are as follows:
