DESCRIPTION:
Russ McRee has discovered some vulnerabilities in The Bug Genie,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting and request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "scope" parameter to e.g. index.php,
modules/search/search.php, or modules/search/search_stripped.php is
not properly sanitised in include/classes/BUGSscope.class.php 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) 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. change a user's password or
delete a user by tricking a logged in administrative user into
visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.1.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.1.2.
