SpiceWorks Two Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Two vulnerabilities have been reported in SpiceWorks, which can be exploited to conduct script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed via the title field to user_portal is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
2) Input passed via the "value" POST parameter to settings/advanced/save_system_setting (when "name" is set "pdf_header_color", "editorId" is set to "pdf_header_color_inplace", and "authenticity_token" and "_pickaxe" are set) is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 7.2.00195.
