DESCRIPTION:
Khashayar Fereidani has discovered a vulnerability in LifeType, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to the "newBlogUserName" parameter in 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 context of an affected site.
Successful exploitation requires that the target user has valid
administrator credentials.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.2.8. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
