DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has reported a vulnerability in DSite CMS, which
can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks.
Input passed via the "button_name" parameter to admin/plugin.php
(when "module" is set to "menu", "plitem" is set to "modmenu.php",
and "menu_id" is set) 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 authentication.
The vulnerability is reported in version 4.81. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy.
