ProNews Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities
ProNews is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities, including multiple HTML-injection issues, an SQL-injection issue, and a cross-site scripting issue, because the application fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. A successful exploit of these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to compromise the application, access or modify data, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, or even exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database implementation. Other attacks are also possible.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not allowed to enter the system. All input data should be validated and filtered for malicious content.
