DESCRIPTION:
Justin Klein Keane has reported some vulnerabilities in e107, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion and
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "submitnews_title" parameter to
submitnews.php is not properly sanitised before being displayed to
the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script
code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

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. create arbitrary users by
tricking a logged in administrative user into visiting a malicious
web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 0.7.23.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.7.23.
