HIO-2008-1005 CompactCMS 1.1 XSS & CSRF PDF Print E-mail

CompactCMS 1.1 and earlier contains flaws that allows remote cross site scripting and cross-site request forgery.  
Cross-site scripting occurs on POST where the "pagetitle" & "subheader" variables don't properly sanitize input upon submission to the /admin/index.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

Cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities are caused due to the application allowing users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the request.
