TITLE:
CuteNews Script Insertion and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA23045

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/23045/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
CuteNews 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/1798/

DESCRIPTION:
trueend5 has discovered some vulnerabilities in CuteNews, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks
and malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the form fields "Short Story" and "Full Story" in
index.php isn't sanitised before being stored. This can be exploited
to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which is executed in a
user's browser session in context of an affected site when a
malicious news story is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires valid user credentials.
 
2) Input passed to the "mod", "image", "area", and "source"
parameters in index.php is not properly sanitised before it is
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.

Successful exploitation requires that the target is logged in.

3) Input passed in the URL to search.php is not properly sanitised
before it is 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 1.4.5. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
