TITLE:
WordPress WP-Footnotes Plugin "admin_panel.php" Cross-Site Scripting

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA28772

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/28772/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
WP-Footnotes 2.x (plugin for WordPress)
http://secunia.com/product/17447/

DESCRIPTION:
NBBN has discovered some vulnerabilities in the WP-Footnotes plugin
for WordPress, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "pre_footnotes", "priority", "post_footnotes",
and "style_rules" array elements in the
"wp_footnotes_current_settings[]" array in the admin_panel.php script
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 "register_globals" is enabled.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.2. Other versions may
also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
