DESCRIPTION:
Nenad Jovanovic has discovered some vulnerabilities in Simple PHP
Blog, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "entry" parameter in "preview_cgi.php" and
"preview_static_cgi.php", the "blog_subject" and "blog_text"
parameters in "preview_cgi.php", the "blog_subject", "blog_text", and
"file_name" parameters in "preview_static_cgi.php", and the
"scheme_name" and "bg_color" parameters in "colors_cgi.php" isn't
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 have been confirmed in version 0.4.5. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
The vulnerabilities will reportedly be fixed in an upcoming version.
