Description:
rgod has discovered some vulnerabilities in Claroline, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, disclose sensitive information, and compromise a vulnerable system.
1) Input passed to the "file" parameter in "rqmkhtml.php" isn't properly sanitised before being used to view files. This can be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files via directory traversal attacks.
Example:
http://[host]/claroline/document/rqmkhtml.php?cmd=rqEditHtml&file=[file]
2) Input passed to the "file" parameter in "rqmkhtml.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.
Example:
http://[host]/claroline/document/rqmkhtml.php?cmd=rqEditHtml&file=[code]
3) Input passed to the "includePath" parameter in "claroline/learnPath/include/scormExport.inc.php" isn't properly verified, before it is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from external and local resources.
Successful exploitation requires that "register_globals" is enabled.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.7.4 and has also been reported in prior versions (from version 1.5).
