HIO-2010-0325 Webessence CMS Multiple Vulnerabilities PDF Print E-mail

Webessence CMS 1.0 contains multiple flaws that allow cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery.

 

1) CSRF: The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests send to e.g. admin/configure.php without performing any validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g. conduct script-insertion attacks and change certain settings by tricking an administrator into visiting a malicious website.

 

2) XSS: Input passed to the "type" parameter in /admin/media.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 a vulnerable site.
