DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Xoops, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
1) Input passed to the "module" parameter (when "fct" is set to
"modulesadmin" and "op" is set to "install") in
modules/system/admin.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.
2) Input passed to the "module[]", "newname[]", and "oldname[]" POST
parameters (when "fct" is set to "modulesadmin" and "op" is set to
"confirm") in modules/system/admin.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 to the "memberslist_id[]" POST parameter (when "fct"
is set to "mailusers") in modules/system/admin.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 2.5.0. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
