Impact Arbitrary local file inclusion via the $lang property, remotely exploitable if host application passes unfiltered user data into that property. The 3 CVEs listed are applications that used PHPMailer that were vulnerable to this problem.

Patches It's not known exactly when this was fixed in the host applications, but it was fixed in PHPMailer 5.2.0.

Workarounds Filter and validate user-supplied data before use.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.4.3 and 1.5 RC 1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) showcourse parameter to browse.php, (2) subject parameter to contact.php, (3) cid parameter to content.php, (4) l parameter to inbox/sendmessage.php, the (5) search, (6) words, (7) include, (8) findin, (9) displayas, or (10) search parameter to search.php, the (11) submit, (12) query, or (13) field parameter to tile.php, the (14) us parameter to forum/subscribeforum.php, or the (15) roles[], (16) status, (17) submit, or (18) resetfilter parameters to directory.php.

registration.PHP in ATutor 1.5.1 pl2 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via an e-mail address that ends in a NULL character, which bypasses the PHP regular expression check. NOTE: it is possible that this is actually a bug in PHP code, in which case this should not be treated as a vulnerability in ATutor.

ATutor 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP functions via a direct request to forum.inc.php with a modified addslashes parameter with either the (1) asc or (2) desc parameters set, possibly due to an eval injection vulnerability.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the basehref parameter in translate.php, (2) the basepath parameter in news.inc.php, and (3) the p parameter in addnote.php.

Multiple PHP file inclusion vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1 allow remote attackers to include arbitrary files via the section parameter followed by a null byte (%00) in (1) bodyheader.inc.php and (2) print.php.

SQL injection vulnerability in passwordreminder.php in ATutor before 1.5.1 pl1 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the email field.

config.inc.php in ATutor 1.5.1, and possibly earlier versions, uses an incomplete blacklist to check for dangerous file extensions, which allows authenticated administrators or educators to execute arbitrary code by uploading files with other executable extensions such as .inc, .php4, or others.

ATutor 1.5.1, and possibly earlier versions, stores temporary chat logs under the web document root with insufficient access control and predictable filenames, which allows remote attackers to obtain user chat conversations via direct requests to those files.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in ATutor 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) course parameter in login.php or (2) words parameter in search.php.

DISPUTED SQL injection vulnerability in index.php in ATutor 1.5.3 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the fid parameter. NOTE: this issue has been disputed by the vendor, who states "The mentioned SQL injection vulnerability is not possible." However, the relevant source code suggests that this issue may be legitimate, and the parameter is cleansed in 1.5.3.1.

SQL injection vulnerability in links/index.php in ATutor 1.5.3.1 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the (1) desc or (2) asc parameters.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.5.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) lang parameter in (a) indexlist.php and (2) year, (3) month, and (4) day parameter in (b) registration.php.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ATutor before 1.5.3 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) showcourses or (2) currentcat parameters to (a) admin/createcourse.php, showcourses parameter to (b) users/createcourse.php, (3) p parameter to (c) documentation/admin/, (4) forgot parameter to (d) passwordreminder.php, (5) cat parameter to (e) users/browse.php, or the (6) submit parameter to admin/fixcontent.php.

Multiple SQL injection vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.5.3.2 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified parameters. NOTE: CVE analysis suggests that the vendor fixed these issues.
