SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38078
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38078/
DESCRIPTION:
Justin C. Klein Keane has discovered some vulnerabilities in Magento,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.
Input passed to the "Name" and "Product SKU" fields when adding a
product, to the "Group Name" field when adding customer groups, to
the "Name" field when adding root categories or attribute sets, to
the "Class Name" field when adding customer or product tax classes,
to the "Tax Identifier" field when adding tax rates, and to the "Poll
Question" and "Answer Title" fields when adding polls, 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
context of an affected site when the malicious data is viewed.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.3.2.4. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Restrict management access to trusted users only. Filter malicious
characters and character sequences in a web proxy.
