Ovidentia Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ovidentia, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via the "bupd", "pos", and "sSearchText" GET parameters (when "tg" is set to "users"), the "item" GET parameter (when "tg" is set to "admoc"), the "fid" GET parameter (when "tg" is set to "admfm"), the "iIdOwner" and "iIdProject" GET parameters (when "idx" is set to "displayGanttChart" and "tg" is set to "usrTskMgr"), and the "ids" GET parameter (when "tg" is set to "topman" and "idx" is set to "hpriv") to 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.
These vulnerabilities are confirmed in versions 7.9.4 and 7.9.6. Other versions may also be affected.
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. add users if a logged-in administrator visits a malicious web site.
3) Input appended to the URL after 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 #2 and #3 are confirmed in version 7.9.6. Other versions may also be affected.
