DESCRIPTION:
Tiago Natel de Moura has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in
SocialEngine, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct
script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "search" parameter to widget/index/content_id
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 via the "title" parameter to music/create and the
"location" parameter to events/create 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) 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. assign a user administrative
privileges by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a
malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 4.2.2. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly fixed in version 4.2.4.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
