storytlr Two Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Omar Kurt has discovered two vulnerabilities in storytlr, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed via the "search" parameter to index.php/search/ is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user in protected/application/public/controllers/SearchController.php. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Input appended to the URL after /archives/ 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 are confirmed in version 1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
