Description:
Elzar Stuffenbach has reported two vulnerabilities in Whois.Cart, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and disclose sensitive information.
1) Input passed to the "page" parameter in "profile.php" 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 an affected site.
2) Input passed to the "language" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.2 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.
NOTE: The vendor disputes the vulnerabilities reported by Elzar Stuffenbach.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and verified.
