Description: DarkBicho reported an input validation vulnerability in CuteNews. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
It is reported that the several scripts do not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the information.
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 CuteNews 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.
Some demonstration exploit URLs are provided:
http://[target]/show_archives.php?subaction=showcomments&id=<script>alert(document
.cookie);</script>&archive=&start_from=&uca&p
http://[target]/show_news.php?subaction=showcomments&id=<script>alert(document.cookie);</script>&archive=&start_from=&uca
t=&a
http://[target]/example1.php?subaction=showfull&id=<script>alert(document.cookie);</script>
http://[target]/example2.php?subaction=showfull&id=<script>alert(do
cument.cookie);</script>
The vendor has reportedly been notified.

Impact: A remote user can access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running the
CuteNews software, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting
