Description:
athos has discovered some vulnerabilities in CuteNews, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "mod" parameter in index.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a logged in user's browser session in the context of an affected site.
2) Input passed to the "add_ip" parameter when blocking IP addresses is not properly sanitised before being stored in data/ipban.db.php. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires administrative privileges and that support for ".htaccess" files is disabled.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.4.6. Other versions may also be affected.
