Description:
Steven Roddis has discovered some vulnerabilities in TorrentFlux, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed to the "torrent" parameter in startpop.php is not 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 the "username" form field parameter in login.php is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an administrator's browser session in context of an affected site when the "Activity Log" is viewed.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 2.2.

Provided and/or discovered by:
