DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Movable Type, which
can be exploited by malicious users to compromise a vulnerable system
and by malicious people to conduct session hijacking, cross-site
scripting, and cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Certain input passed via mt-wizard.cgi 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) Certain input passed via templates 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) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. execute arbitrary script code
when a logged-in user visits a specially crafted web page.

4) An error within the commenting and the community scripts can be
exploited to hijack another user's session

5) Certain input passed via the file management system is not
properly verified before being used. This can be exploited to inject
and execute arbitrary commands.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires privileges to
upload files through the administrative interface.

Please see the vendor's advisory for a list of affected products and
versions.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.13, 5.07, or 4.38.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) The vendor credits Trustwave.
2-5) Reported by the vendor.
