SimpleRisk Cross-Site Request Forgery and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Two vulnerabilities have been reported in SimpleRisk, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) 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. submit new projects when a logged-in user visits a specially crafted web page.
This vulnerability is reported in version 20130915-001. Other versions may also be affected.
2) Input passed via the "new_project" POST parameter to /management/prioritize_planning.php 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 if malicious data is viewed.
This vulnerability is reported in versions 20130915-001 and prior.
