Description: vamp^ reported an input validation vulnerability in the Phorum search engine. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks
It is reported that the 'search.php' script does not properly validate user-supplied input in the 'subject' field. A remote user
can create a specially crafted URL that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the
target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Phorum software and will run in the security context of
that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated
with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as
the target user.
A demonstration exploit URL is provided:
http://phorum.org/phorum5/search.php?12,search=vamp,page=1,match_type=ALL,
match_dates=00,match_forum=ALL
,body=,author=,subject= [ Evil Code Here ]
|
Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the
Phorum software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting
as the target user.

Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
