TITLE:
phplist "p" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22431

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22431/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
phplist 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/2544/

DESCRIPTION:
b0rizQ has discovered a vulnerability in phplist, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "p" parameter in index.php is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user in an error message. This
can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

Successful exploitation requires that the user is running a browser
that has not URL-encoded the request (e.g. Internet Explorer).

The vulnerability is reported in version 2.10.2 and confirmed in
version 2.10.3. Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
