*CVE-2013-2498*
Simple HRM system is vulnerable to sqli attacks in their login page
An attacker can perform blind sql injection through the login form and
obtain information such as password hash.
*Attack URL:* http://localhost/simplehrm/index.php/user/setLogin
*Method:* POST
*Vuln Parameter: *username=*(SQL INJECTION)*&password=abcdef
*Vuln Type*: unsanitised input argument *($name)* in
*Vuln **File:* simlehrm/flexycms/modules/user/user_manager.php
*Line:* 84
$res_company = getsingleindexrow('CALL
get_search_sql("'.TABLE_PREFIX.'company","email_id = \''.$name.'\' AND
isactive = 1 LIMIT 1")');
*CVE-2013-2499*
We discovered that if an attacker were to grab hold of the user's password
hash, the attacker can easily spoof a cookie and impersonate as anyone to
access the system. Together with the blind sql injection stated above, an
attacker can simply blind the password hash, userid, username and recreate
a cookie.
*Vuln **File:* simlehrm/flexycms/modules/user/user_manager.php
*Line:* 215 $v_user_password =
md5($info['id_user'].$info['username'].$info['password']);
This vuln effectively defeats one of the primary purposes of password hashing.
