Description:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in QLnews, which can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system or by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "autorx" and "newsx" parameters is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.
2) Input passed to configuration parameters in admin.php is not properly sanitised before being stored in config.php. This can be exploited by users with administration privileges to inject arbitrary PHP code, which is executed when config.php is used.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
Provided and/or discovered by:
Aliaksandr Hartsuyeu
