Description:
A vulnerability and a security issue have been discovered in MauryCMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and bypass certain security restrictions.

1) Input passed to the "c" parameter in Rss.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) A security issue is caused due to incorrect security restrictions on the Editors/fckeditor directory. This can be exploited to e.g. gain upload and file browser access.

This vulnerability is confirmed in version 0.53.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Restrict access to the Editors/fckeditor directory (e.g. via .htaccess).

Provided and/or discovered by:
