DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Glossword, which can
be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and
disclose certain sensitive data.

1) Input passed via the "a" GET parameter to gw_admin.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 the context of an affected site.

2) The application stores database backups in directories with
predictable names, which can be exploited to disclose sensitive
data.

3) The application allows the upload of files with arbitrary
extensions to a folder inside the web root when uploading avatars.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary PHP code by uploading a
malicious PHP script.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the permission
to edit own profile (not granted by default) or other users' profiles
(granted by predefined permission profiles #3 and #4).

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.8.12. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
No official solution is currently available.
