Description:
Lostmon reported a vulnerability in CMSimple. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The 'index.php' script does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input in the 'search' parameter. 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 CMSimple 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.
The vendor was notified on July 20, 2005.

##############################################
CMSimple is a simple content management system; for the smart
maintenance of small commercial or private sites.
It is simple - small - smart!
CMSimple contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting
attack.This flaw exists because the application does not validate
'search' variable upon submission to 'index.php' script.This could
allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute
arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship
between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
Index.php file contains only a include to cmsimple/cms.php file.

vendor fix:
http://www.cmsimple.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2470
Fix:
function printlink(){global
$f,$search,$file,$sn,$su,$tx;$t=amp().'print';if($f=='search')$t.=amp().'function=search'.amp().'search='.$search;
should be replaced with:
function printlink(){global
$f,$search,$file,$sn,$su,$tx;$t=amp().'print';if($f=='search')$t.=amp().'function=search'.amp().'search='.htmlspecialchars(stripslashes($search));
Will be fixed in next beta.
