Jean Pascal Pereira has discovered two vulnerabilities in Commentics, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the "id" parameter to admin/index.php (when "page" is set to "edit_page") 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) 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. change the administrator's password by tricking a logged-in administrator into visiting a malicious web site.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.0. Other versions may also be affected.
