DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in eFront, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed e.g. via the "math_server" parameter to the admin
system settings section 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.
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. add administrative users if a
logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.6.3 build 7455. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy. Do
not visit untrusted web sites or follow links from untrusted sources
while being logged-in to the application.
