SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31625

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31625/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
PopnupBlog 3.x (module for Xoops)
http://secunia.com/product/13846/

DESCRIPTION:
Lostmon has discovered two vulnerabilities in the PopnupBlog module
for Xoops, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "cat_id" and "view" parameters in index.php 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.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.20. Other versions may
also be affected.

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