Description:
Jesper Jurcenoks has reported some vulnerabilities in SimpGB, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "l_username" parameter in admin/index.php and "l_emoticonlist" in admin/emoticonlist.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) The admin/cfginfo.php script does not restrict access to logged in users. This can be exploited to display global configuration variables.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.46.02. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 1.47.01.

Provided and/or discovered by:
Jesper Jurcenoks
