TITLE:
RateMe Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA32511

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/32511/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
RateMe 1.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/20341/

DESCRIPTION:
Russ McRee has reported some vulnerabilities in RateMe, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
and cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "rate" parameter when submitting a rating 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 e.g. delete arbitrary comments when
a logged-in user visits a malicious site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.3.3. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted sites while being logged-in to the application.
