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".
