Jax Newsletter Cross-Site Scripting and Information Disclosure Advisory Available in Danish 

Secunia Advisory: SA16332  
Release Date: 2005-08-05

Critical:
Less critical
Impact: Cross Site Scripting
Exposure of sensitive information
Where: From remote
Solution Status: Unpatched

Software:Jax Newsletter 2.x

This advisory is currently marked as unpatched!
- Companies can be alerted when a patch is released!


Description:
Lostmon has discovered some vulnerabilities in Jax Newsletter, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or disclose certain sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "language" parameter isn't 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) Accessing the "/logs/jnl_records" file directly discloses certain sensitive information (e.g. email addresses of users, who have signed in or out).

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 2.14 and have also been reported in version 2.10. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Remove read permissions from "jnl_records".
