Wordcircle v.2.14 SQL Injection, Login Bypass and Cross-Site Scripting Security Vulnerability

Description
1) Input passed to the course name field when adding a new course isn't properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.
2) Input passed to the password field when logging in isn't properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Successful exploitation requires that "magic_quotes_gpc" is disabled.

Confirmed in version 2.14. Other versions may also be affected.

Impact
The remote attacker can manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code, bypass login sequence and inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.
