Moderately critical

Unknown, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Serendipity, where some
have unknown impacts and others, which potentially can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and SQL injection
attacks.

1) Some unspecified input handled with "exit.php" and pingbacks isn't
properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This may be
exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input handled with the BBCode plugin isn't 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 a vulnerable site.

3) An unspecified input validation error in the processing of path
names for uploaded media can be exploited to bypass the validation
process.

4) An input validation in the media manager can be exploited to
upload ".php" and ".shtml" files.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.8.
