TITLE:
PHD Help Desk Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37375

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37375/

DESCRIPTION:
Amol Naik has discovered some vulnerabilities in PHD Help Desk, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to multiple scripts 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.

Examples:
http://[host]/area.php/[code]
http://[host]/area.php?pagina=[code]
http://[host]/area.php?sentido=[code]
http://[host]/area.php?q_registros=[code]
http://[host]/area.php?orden=[code]
http://[host]/solic_display.php?pagina=1&q_registros=[code]&orden=seq_solicitud_id
http://[host]/area_list.php/[code]
http://[host]/area_list.php?pagina=1&q_registros=0[code]&orden=nombre
http://[host]/atributo.php/[code]
http://[host]/atributo_list.php?pagina=1[code]&q_registros=15&orden=activo&sentido
http://[host]/atributo_list.php?pagina=1&q_registros=15[code]&orden=activo&sentido
http://[host]/atributo_list.php?pagina=1&q_registros=15&orden=activo[code]&sentido
http://[host]/atributo_list.php?pagina=1&q_registros=15&orden=activo&sentido[code]
http://[host]/caso_insert.php/[code]

NOTE: Other scripts may also be vulnerable.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.43. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
