Tiago Natel de Moura has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in SocialEngine, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the "search" parameter to widget/index/content_id is not properly sanitised 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 passed via the "title" parameter to music/create and the "location" parameter to events/create 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 when the malicious data is being viewed.
3) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. assign a user administrative privileges by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 4.2.2. Other versions may also be affected.
