Tiki Wiki CMS/Groupware URL Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Stefan Schurtz has discovered two vulnerabilities in Tiki Wiki CMS/Groupware, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input appended to the URL to e.g. tiki-pagehistory.php is not properly sanitised in lib/smarty_tiki/function.query.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) Input appended to the URL to tiki-admin_system.php is not properly sanitised in templates/tiki-admin_system.tpl 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.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in versions 6.4 and 7.2. Other versions may also be affected.
