Description:
----------------------------------------------
BLOG:CMS is the most complete, feature-packed, personal publishing system on
the market, developed by Radek Hulán. It
includes state-of-the-art weblog, forum, wiki engine, news aggregator (atom
/rss), and photo gallery.
Requirements:
----------------------------------------------
register_globals = On
Vulnerability:
----------------------------------------------
Input passed directly to the "id" parameter 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.
It works with a script code like this:
>'><script>alert('MajorSecurity')</script><!--
Solution:
----------------------------------------------
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
You should work with "htmlspecialchars()" or "htmlentities()" php-function to
ensure that html tags
are not going to be executed. You should also work with the "intval()"
php-function to ensure that the input
is numeric.
Example:
<?php
$pass = htmlentities($_POST['pass']);
echo htmlspecialchars("<script");
$id = intval($_POST['id']);
?>
Set "register_globals" to "Off".
