Description:
Some vulnerabilities and a security issue have been reported in Pre ASP Job Board, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection and cross-site scripting attacks or to disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "Username" and "Password" parameters in Employee/login.asp is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed to the "msg" parameter in Employee/emp_login.asp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

3) The problem is that the "db/pre.mdb" database is stored with insecure permissions inside the web root. This can be exploited to gain knowledge of sensitive information by downloading the file.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Move the database file out of the web root.
