TomatoCMS Script Insertion Vulnerabilities

TomatoCMS Script Insertion Vulnerabilities
Posted May 14, 2010
Site secunia.com

Secunia Research has discovered three vulnerabilities in TomatoCMS, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks. Input passed via the "title", "subTitle", and "author" parameters to index.php/admin/news/article/add 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. Successful exploitation requires "Add new article" permissions. Version 2.0.4 is affected.
