Description:
Easyex has discovered two vulnerabilities in PHP-Fusion, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks or disclose sensitive information.
1) Input passed to the "news_body", "article_description", and "article_body" parameters in "submit.php" is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious user data is viewed.
2) Missing access control restrictions on the "administration/db_backups/" directory makes it possible to retrieve the database backup files containing users' password hashes.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 6.00.105. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 6.00.106.
