DESCRIPTION:
Russ McRee has reported some vulnerabilities in CompactCMS, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed to the "pagetitle", "subheader", and "urlpage"
parameters to admin/index.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) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. delete arbitrary pages by
enticing a user to visit a malicious site.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 1.1. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.2, which fixes some of the vulnerabilities.
