Discussion
ActivDesk Multiple Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities
ActivDesk is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, control how the site is rendered to the user, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
ActivDesk 3.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
