phplist Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in phplist, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "testtarget" POST parameter to admin/index.php (when "page" is set to "send", "id" is a valid message id, and "tab" is set to "Format") 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 "id" parameter to admin/index.php (when "page" is set to "bouncerule") 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.
3) Input passed via the "remote_prefix", "remote_userprefix", "remote_user", "remote_password", and "remote_database" POST parameters to admin/index.php (when "page" is set to "import4") 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.
4) Input passed via the "status", "footer", and "page" parameters to admin/index.php 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.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 2.10.19.
