Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in GWExtranet, which can be exploited by malicious people to disclose sensitive information and to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, and by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

1) Certain input passed via the compose module is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when e.g. a malicious calendar is viewed.

2) Input passed to the "file" and "template" parameters within certain action modules (e.g. sendto, nbfile) in gwextranet/scp.dll is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources via e.g. directory traversal attacks.

3) Input passed to the "filter", "user", and "month" parameters within the "frmonth" action module in gwextranet/scp.dll 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.

Solution:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
