SOFTWARE:
TorrentFlux 2.x
DESCRIPTION:
I have discovered a vulnerability in TorrentFlux, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Data passed to the users array is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an administrators browser session in context of an affected site when the Activity Log is viewed.
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
/admin.php
Line 416:
echo .htmlentities($users[$inx], ENT_QUOTES).";
