TITLE:
Phorum "admin.php" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA24396

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/24396/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Phorum 5.x
http://secunia.com/product/4144/

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

Input passed via the URL to admin.php 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.

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

The vulnerability is confirmed in version 5.1.19. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
