Vulnerability: Session Fixation, Reflected XSS, Code Execution
Affected Software: PivotX (http://pivotx.net/)
Affected Version: 2.3.10 (probably also prior versions)
Patched Version: 2.3.11
Risk: Medium-High


Session Fixation
================

  Risk
  ----

  Medium; If victim clicks link and logs in, then an attacker can log in
as the victim

  POC
  ---

  1. Send victim to:
http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/fileupload.php?sess=123
  2. Victim logs in
  3. Attacker sets PHPSESSID=123 and is now logged in as well


File Upload: Code Execution
===========================

  Risk
  ----

  Medium; attacker can upload PHP files and thus gain code execution

  Description
  -----------

  It is possible to bypass the check for disallowed file extensions with
a filename like foo.php.php, which will be renamed to foo.php_.php,
leading to code execution.


Reflected XSS
=============

  Risk
  ----

  Medium; arbitrary JavaScript execution

  POC
  ---

            PHP_SELF is user supplied, and thus should not be considered
secure. It seems that most or all forms are affected by this.

  
http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/index.php/"><script>alert('xsstest')</script></script>?page=page&uid=3
  
http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/index.php/"><script>alert('xsstest')</script></script>?page=templates
  
http://localhost/pivotx_latest/pivotx/index.php/"><script>alert('xsstest')</script></script>?page=fileexplore
    [... etc ...]
