XOOPS Remote SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in XOOPS, which could be exploited by attackers to manipulate or disclose certain data.
The first issue is caused by an input validation error in the "include/notification_update.php" script when processing the "not_list" parameter, which could be exploited by malicious people to conduct SQL injection attacks.
The second vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in the "modules/pm/readpmsg.php" script when processing the "op" parameter, which could allow cross site scripting attacks.
