Practico CMS Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities


Description   Gjoko Krstic has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Practico CMS, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed via multiple GET parameters 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.
List of affected parameters:

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing proper validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create a user with administrative privileges when a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web page.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 13.911. Other versions may also be affected.
