TITLE:
Tinypug Script Insertion and Cross-Site Request Forgery
Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA38402
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/38402/
DESCRIPTION:
AmnPardaz Security Research Team has discovered some vulnerabilities
in Tinypug, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the "comment_text" parameter while adding
comments is not properly sanitised before being displayed to the
user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrator's
password by tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a
malicious web site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.9.5. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.
