DESCRIPTION:
Secunia Research has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in phpList,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
and SQL injection attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed via the "usercheck" parameter to admin/index.php
(when "page" is set to "usercheck") 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 "strCharSet" parameter to admin/pagetop.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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires that
"register_globals" is enabled.

3) Input passed via the "description" parameter when adding or
editing a subscriber list description is not properly sanitised
before being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will execute in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is being viewed.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires permissions to
manage lists.

4) Input passed via the "login" parameter to admin/index.php is not
properly sanitised in admin/eventlog.php before being displayed to
the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script
code, which will execute in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

5) Input passed via the "findby" parameter to admin/index.php (when
"page" is set to "users") is not properly sanitised before being used
in SQL queries. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by
injecting arbitrary SQL code.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires permissions to
manage users.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.10.14. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.10.17.
