SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA16317

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/16317/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
web content management
http://secunia.com/product/5482/

DESCRIPTION:
rgod has discovered a vulnerability and a security issue in web
content management, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks and bypass certain security
restrictions.

1) Input passed to the "strRootpath" parameter in
"Includes/validsession.php" and the "strTable" parameter in
"Admin/News/List.php" 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 an affected
site.

2) It is possible to access the "Admin/Users/AddModifyInput.php"
script in the administration section without being authenticated.
This can be exploited to add arbitrary users and gain administrative
privileges.

The vulnerability and the security issue have been confirmed in the
latest available version. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
that the authentication process is properly performed.
