DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in N-13
News, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "id" parameter to index.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) Input passed via the "parent" POST parameter to index.php (when
"rating" is set to "true") 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.
3) Input passed via the "id" parameter to admin.php (when "action" is
set to "options", "edit" is set to "true", and "mod" is set to
"newscats") is not properly sanitised in modules/modcategories.php
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.
4) Input passed via the "catid" parameter to admin.php (when "action"
is set to "options", "edit" is set to "true", and "mod" is set to
"imageuploads") is not properly sanitised in
modules/modimageuploads.php 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 4.0.1. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.0.2.
