Description:
Brian has discovered some vulnerabilities in Andy's PHP Knowledgebase, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "keyword_list" parameter in "abk.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.
2) Input passed to various parameters in "submit_article.php" and "submit_question.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.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.57. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Update to version 0.59 or later.
