CVE-2006-1434


Description:
Brian has discovered a vulnerability in Annuaire (Directory), which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

Input passed to the "COMMENTAIRE" parameter in inscription.php isn't 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 user data is viewed.

It is also possible to disclose the full path to certain scripts by accessing them directly.

The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.

Use another product.
