Science Fair In A Box SQLi & XSS Vulnerability

Author: L0rd CrusAd3r aka VSN [crusader_hmg@yahoo.com]

#####################################################################################################################################################################################################

Description:

The "Science Fair in a Box" (SFIAB) project provides regions hosting a
science fair with a complete and comprehensive package that can be used to
assist in the implementation and running of the fair.
The SFIAB provides a web based application to facilitate all areas of
running a science fair such as online registration for the participants,
judges, sponsor management, judge scheduling and awards management.
The SFIAB is implemented using open-source tools wherever possible, creating
a truly open and customizable product that fairs can modify to suit their
needs.
However, SFIAB contain enough configuration options to allow fairs to use
the system without any modifications to the underlying codebase. SFIAB is
developed using PHP, with MySQL as the backend database.
Other database backends could be supported in the future. All reports are
created in print-ready PDF format to ensure cross-platform compatibility
where applicable and also available to export as a CSV to external
applications.
All text in SFIAB is internationalized to allow the use of the system in any
language. 'Language Packs' will be available in other language once
translations are complete. (If you'd like to assist in translation, contact
us!)
SFIAB is the most advanced, most comprehensive Science Fair Software in the
world, and is used by many science fairs spread across many different
countries!
