TITLE:
Webessence CMS Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery
Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39128

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39128/

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

1) Input passed to the "type" parameter in webessence/admin/media.php
is not properly sanitised before being displayed 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
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. delete pages or users by
tricking an administrative user into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.0.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
