TITLE:
cPanel File Manager Script Insertion Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34342
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34342/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in cPanel, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed via the file name in the standard and legacy file
managers is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed
in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site when
the malicious file name is viewed.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 11.24.4-CURRENT. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
