John Martinelli has reported two vulnerabilities in Ripe Website Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks and cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "ripeformpost" parameter in contact/index.php is not properly sanitised before being used in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed to the "ripeformpost" parameter in contact/index.php is not properly sanitised before it is 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.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 0.8.4. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution
Update to version 0.8.5.
