DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in MySQL Eventum, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks
and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.

1) Input passed via the "full_name" POST parameter to preferences.php
(when the "cat" POST parameter is set to "update_name") is not
properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which is 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 making proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrative user by
tricking an administrator into visiting a malicious web site while
being logged-in to the application.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.3.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

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

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Saif El-Sherei
2) An anonymous person.
