[MajorSecurity SA-078]PHPKIT WCMS - Reflected Cross Site Scripting Issue Details ============= Product: PHPKIT WCMS Security-Risk: low Remote-Exploit: yes Vendor-URL: http://www.phpkit.com/ Advisory-Status: published Credits ============= Discovered by: David Vieira-Kurz of MajorSecurity Original Advisory ============= http://www.majorsecurity.net/phpkit-wcms-xss.php Affected Products: ============= PHPKIT WCMS 1.6.5 Prior versions may also be vulnerable Description ============= "PHPKIT WCMS is an Content Management System." More Details ============= We at MajorSecurity have discovered some vulnerabilities in PHPKIT WCMS 1.6.5, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct reflected cross-site scripting attacks. Input passed directly to the "searchtext" parameter in "/de/pk/include.php?path=contentarchive" is not properly sanitised before being stored and 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. Solution ============= Web applications should never trust on user generated input and therefore sanatize all input. Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
