This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrator's password by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web site. 2) Input passed via the "url" POST parameter to clients/editclient.php when adding or editing a client is not properly sanitised before being used. 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. 3) Input passed via the "links" POST parameter to newsdesk/editnews.php when editing a news article is not properly sanitised before being used. 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 of this vulnerability requires the "Project Manager Permissions" privileges. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.5. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being logged-in to the application. Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
