Discovery Status:
=================
Published


Affected Product(s):
====================
Schoolhos
Product: Schoolhos - Content Management System (Web-Application) 2016 Q3


Exploitation Technique:
=======================
Remote


Severity Level:
===============
High


Technical Details & Description:
================================
A remote sql injection web vulnerability has been discovered  in the official Schoolhos v2_29 content management system.
The web vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute own malicious sql commands to compromise the application or 
dbms. 

The sql injection vulnerability is located in the `user` parameter of the `index?p=userberita` module GET method 
request. 
Remote attackers are able to execute own sql commands by usage of an insecure GET method request through the vulnerable 
parameter of the own application. The attack vector of the vulnerability is application-side and the request method to 
inject is GET. The security vulnerability in the content management system is a classic select remote sql-injection.

The security risk of the vulnerability is estimated as high with a cvss (common vulnerability scoring system) count of 
6.8.
Exploitation of the remote sql injection vulnerability requires no user interaction or privileged web-application user 
account.
Successful exploitation of the remote sql injection results in database management system, web-server and 
web-application compromise.

Request Method(s):
[+] GET 


Vulnerable Module(s):
[+] userberita 


Vulnerable Parameter(s):
[+] user 


Proof of Concept (PoC):
=======================
The remote sql-injection web vulnerability can be exploited by remote attackers without privileged web-application user 
account and without user interaction.
