Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
rgod has discovered two vulnerabilities in TCExam, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed in the "SessionUserLang" cookie to public/code/index.php is not properly sanitised before it is written to the filename after the last slash. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code.

2) Input passed to the "_SERVER[SCRIPT_NAME]" parameter in public/code/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 confirmed in version 4.0.011. Prior versions may also be affected.
