DESCRIPTION:
Jelmer de Hen has discovered a weakness and some vulnerabilities in
FireStats, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
certain system information and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) The application does not properly restrict access to the
firestats/php/page-tools.php script. This can be exploited to e.g.
disclose the system's MySQL and PHP version.

2) Input passed to the "site_id" parameter in
firestats/php/window-new-edit-site.php and to the "edit" parameter in
firestats/php/window-add-excluded-ip.php and
firestats/php/window-add-excluded-url.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 of the vulnerabilities may require that the
application is installed as WordPress plugin.

The weakness and the vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.6.5.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Restrict access to trusted users only (e.g. via ".htaccess").
