Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in OrangeHRM, which can be exploited to perform Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) and SQL Injection attacks.

1) Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in OrangeHRM
1.1 Input passed via the "uniqcode" GET parameter to index.php 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 in context of an affected website.
The following PoC code is available:
http://[host]/index.php?menu_no_top=eim&uniqcode=%22%3E%3C/iframe%3E%3Cscrip t%3Ealert%28123%29;%3C/script%3E
1.2 Input passed via the "isAdmin" GET parameter to index.php 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 in context of an affected website.
The following PoC code is available:
http://[host]/index.php?menu_no_top=eim&uniqcode=USR&isAdmin=%22%3E%3C/ifram e%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28123%29;%3C/script%3E
1.3 Input appended to the URL after /lib/controllers/centralcontroller.php 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 in context of an affected site
The following PoC code is available:
http://[host]/lib/controllers/centralcontroller.php/%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert% 28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E/?uniqcode=USR&VIEW=MAIN&isAdmin=1

2) SQL Injection vulnerability in OrangeHRM
2.1 Input passed via the "id" GET parameter to /lib/controllers/centralcontroller.php is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
The following PoC code is available:
http://[host]/lib/controllers/centralcontroller.php?capturemode=updatemode&u niqcode=NAT&id=1%27%20union%20select%20version%28%29,user%28%29%20--%20
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires attacker to be registered and logged-in.
