TITLE:
Plohni Shoutbox "input_name" and "input_text" Script Insertion
Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA37418
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/37418/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Plohni Shoutbox, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion
attacks.
Input passed to the "input_name" and "input_text" parameters in
index.php is not sanitised before being displayed to the user. This
can be exploited to inject arbitrary HTML and script code, which will
be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site
when the malicious message is viewed.
The vulnerability is confirmed in version 1.0. Other versions may
also be vulnerable.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
