Kayako LiveResponse Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Checks for multiple input validation vulnerabilities in Kayako LiveResponse

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a
variety of flaws.

Description :

The remote host is running Kayako LiveResponse, a web-based live
support system.

The installed version of Kayako LiveResponse on the remote host fails
to sanitize user-supplied input to many parameters / scripts, which
makes the application vulnerable to SQL injection and cross-site
scripting attacks. In addition, the application embeds passwords in
plaintext as part of GET requests and will reveal its installation
directory in response to direct calls to several scripts.
