Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ampache, a web-based audio file management system. . Package : ampache Version : 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-5+deb8u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-12385 CVE-2019-12386 Several vulnerabilities were discovered in Ampache, a web-based audio file management system. CVE-2019-12385 A stored XSS exists in the localplay.php LocalPlay "add instance" functionality. The injected code is reflected in the instances menu. This vulnerability can be abused to force an admin to create a new privileged user whose credentials are known by the attacker. CVE-2019-12386 The search engine is affected by a SQL Injection, so any user able to perform lib/class/search.class.php searches (even guest users) can dump any data contained in the database (sessions, hashed passwords, etc.). This may lead to a full compromise of admin accounts, when combined with the weak password generator algorithm used in the lostpassword functionality. For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version 3.6-rzb2752+dfsg-5+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your ampache packages.
