DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered two vulnerabilities in Xoops,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "to_userid" parameter to
modules/pm/pmlite.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 "current_file" parameter to
class/xoopseditor/tinymce/tinymce/jscripts/tiny_mce/plugins/xoopsimagemanager/xoopsimagebrowser.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.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.5.4. Prior versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.5.5.
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
High-Tech Bridge SA.
