TITLE:
Banner Student Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA28677

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/28677/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Banner Student 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/17418/

DESCRIPTION:
Brendan M. Hickey has reported some vulnerabilities in Banner
Student, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery and cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "add1" parameter in
ss/bwgkoemr.P_UpdateEmrgContacts 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.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to perform actions with the privileges
of a target user, who is tricked into visiting a malicious website.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 7.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
The vendor has reportedly addressed the vulnerabilities on
2007-08-31. Customers are advised to contact customer support
(https://connect.sungardhe.com/) and review FAQ 1-2P7TER.
