DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in PHPFinance, which can be
exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system and 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
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the database settings
when a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web
page.

This can further be exploited to conduct SQL injection attacks.

2) Input passed via the "tname" parameter to group.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.

3) Input passed e.g. via the "cfg_dbname", "cfg_dbhost",
"cfg_dbuser", and "cfg_dbpass" parameters to setup.php is not
properly sanitised before being stored in inc.conf.php. This can be
exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.

Successful exploitation requires authentication, but can be exploited
in combination with vulnerability #1.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 0.6. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not visit untrusted web pages or follow untrusted links while being
logged-in to the application.
