TITLE: PHP-Fusion Cross-Site Scripting and Identify Spoof Vulnerabilities SECUNIA ADVISORY ID: SA12654 VERIFY ADVISORY: http://secunia.com/advisories/12654/ CRITICAL: Less critical IMPACT: Cross Site Scripting, Spoofing WHERE: >From remote SOFTWARE: PHP-Fusion 4.x http://secunia.com/product/3803/ DESCRIPTION: Two vulnerabilities have been reported in PHP-Fusion, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and potentially perform an identity spoof. 1) Various input passed to PHP-Fusion isn't properly sanitised before being sent to a user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site. 2) A problem in the registration process allows people to create usernames containing a lot of white spaces. This can be exploited to communicate with a spoofed identity. The vulnerabilities reportedly affect version 4.01 and prior. SOLUTION: Apply patch for 4.0.1: http://php-fusion.co.uk/downloads.php?cat_id=3 PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: 1) Grindordie 2) Nolan West ---------------------------------------------------------------------- About: This Advisory was delivered by Secunia as a free service to help everybody keeping their systems up to date against the latest vulnerabilities.
