Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in phpSysInfo, where some have unknown impacts, and others can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Some input isn't 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.
Examples:
http://[victim]/index.php?sensor_program=[code]
http://[victim]/includes/system_footer.php?text[language]=[code]
http://[victim]/includes/system_footer.php?text[template]=[code]
http://[victim]/includes/system_footer.php?hide_picklist=cXIb8O3&VERSION=[code]
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts by accessing them directly.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.3. Other versions may also be affected.
2) Some unspecified errors exists in "index.php" with an unknown impact.
Solution:
Update to version 2.5.
