A group of students at our lab called RedTeam found a cross site scripting vulnerability in openconf which
results in possible session takeover.

Advisory-Status: public CVE: CAN-2005-0407 Introduction ============ Openconf is a php/mysql based conference management system. Authors can submit papers and the conference organisers can review these. Cross site scripting is possible because the user input is not filtered. Through this the session of a user with higher privileges can be taken over. More Details ============ Inputs from an anonymous author submitting a paper can contain script code. This code will be executed when another user reviews this paper. Proof of Concept ================ Submit a paper and enter "title <script>alert('evil');</script>" as title. The script will be executed when the admin "chair" reviews this paper. Workaround ========== None known. Fix === Update to 1.10 (unverified). Security Risk ============= High. Conferences managed by openconf could be arbitrarily influenced.
