Dotclear Two Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   SecPod Technologies has reported two vulnerabilities in Dotclear, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
Input passed via the "post_title" POST parameter to admin/plugin.php (when "p" is set to "pages" and "act" is set to "page") and to admin/post.php (when "id" is set to any number) is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site if malicious data is viewed.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.7.5.
