CactuShop XSS and SQL injection flaws

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks CactuShop flaws

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

The remote host runs CactuShop, an e-commerce web application written in ASP.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to cross-site scripting
due to a lack of sanitization of user-supplied data in the script
'popuplargeimage.asp'.

Successful exploitation of this issue may permit a possible hacker to execute
malicious script code on a vulnerable server.

This version may also be vulnerable to SQL injection attacks in
the scripts 'mailorder.asp' and 'payonline.asp'. The user-supplied
input parameter 'strItems' is not filtered before being used in
an SQL query. Thus the query modification through malformed input
is possible.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can enable a possible hacker
to execute commands in the system (via MS SQL the function xp_cmdshell).

Solution: Upgrade to the latest version of this software
Network Security Threat Level: High

Networks Security ID: 10019, 10020
