Product web page: http://www.limesurvey.org
Affected version: 2.00+ build 131009

Summary: LimeSurvey (formerly PHPSurveyor) is a free and open source
on-line survey application written in PHP based on a MySQL, PostgreSQL
or MSSQL database, distributed under the GNU General Public License. As
a web server-based software it enables users to develop and publish on-line
surveys, and collect responses, without doing any programming.
Desc: LimeSurvey suffers from a stored cross-site scripting and SQL Injection
vulnerability. Input passed to the 'label_name' POST parameter 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 session in context of an
affected site. Input passed to the 'group_name' POST parameter is not properly
sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate
SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.
Tested on: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 (EN)
Apache 2.4.2 (Win32)
PHP 5.4.7
MySQL 5.5.25a
