Description:
sullo has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Eventum, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks and potentially bypass certain security restrictions.
1) Input passed to the "email" parameter in "index.php" and "forgot_password.php", and the "title" and "outgoing_sender_name" parameters in "projects.php" is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
2) Input passed to the "full_name", "sms_email", "list_refresh_rate", and "emails_refresh_rate" parameters in "preferences.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.
3) Eventum has a undocumented default administrator account (system-account@example.com) with a default MD5 encrypted password.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3.1. Prior versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 1.4.
