Description:
Thomas Pollet has discovered two vulnerabilities in OpenCart, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed to the "firstname" parameter in index.php (when "controller" is set to "account_create") is not properly sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.
2) Input passed to the "search" parameter in index.php (when "controller" is set to "search" and "action" to "page") 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.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.7.7. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
