TITLE:
RuubikCMS Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA39729
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/39729/
DESCRIPTION:
Grabpot Thundergust has discovered some vulnerabilities in RuubikCMS,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. create additional
administrative users if a logged-in administrative user visits a
specially crafted web site.
2) Input passed via the "p" parameter to cms/index.php 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.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.0.3. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted sites or follow links from untrusted sources
when being logged-in to the application.
