Description:
basher13 has reported two vulnerabilities in Comdev News Publisher, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "s_type" parameter in "index.php" isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an administrator's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) An input validation error in the administration section can be exploited to inject arbitrary PHP code in an administration panel.
Successful exploitation requires administrative privileges.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 3.1. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
