Description:
James Bercegay has reported some vulnerabilities in phpWebSite, allowing malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "pid" parameter in "index.php" is not sanitised before being returned to authenticated users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or follow a specially crafted link.
Example:
http://[host]/index.php?module=comments&CM_op=replyToComment&CM_pid=1[code]
2) The calendar module does not sanitise input passed in the "cal_template" field before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary SQL code when a malicious event is approved by the administrator.
3) Input passed to the subject and message fields are not sanitised before being included in a stored note. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the note module is accessed.
The vulnerabilities reportedly affect version 0.9.3-4 and prior.
