IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Ultimate HelpDesk 3.x

DESCRIPTION:
ajann has reported some vulnerabilities in Ultimate HelpDesk, which
can be exploited by malicious users to disclose sensitive information
or by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "filename" parameter in getfile.asp is not
properly verified before being used to access files. This can be
exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory
traversal attacks.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.

2) Input passed to the "keyword" parameter in index.asp 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.

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