hi Paul, long time from ccc : )
Hey sure how are you?  Been well?  I've been really busy with CC.
it happens because http headers must be on a single line, it's a
formatting issue (my fault, i used to put a link to a plain text
version but this time i forgot about it), i've just created a txt
version of the advisory available here:

http://phpfi.com/214668
Thank you, this works.
it should be more usable, i dunno when the demos will stop working
on phpnuke.org so i've asked wisec to upload this video since www.ush.it
has bandwidth issues

obviously to bypass the anti-CSRF filter you have to mix the XSS with
the import_request_variables() trick (this doesn't work on phpnuke.org
because they have globals on, this is why i choose that domain)

consider that import_request_variables() will allows you to do much
more than an XSS, this is just an example advisory on an example product

I'd be curious to see your POC using the import_request_variables, because at the moment:

<br><center><a href="modules.php?name=Downloads"><img src="modules/Downloads/images/down-logo.gif" border="0" alt=""></a><br><br>
d4
<form action="modules.php?name=Downloads&amp;d_op=search&amp;query=token<>token

" method="post"><font class="content"><input type="text" size="25" name="query"> <input type="submit" value="Search"></font></form>
18
<font class="content">[

I'm not sure how this will have any effect as you must POST the data. In that sense, you can't exactly exploit a web user -- which is what you basically said with a gateway page. In a sense, you are setting up a sort of 'phish' against the site itself. For years we've been seeing to disable register_globals, and your workaround to enable it imvho is not a workaround at all. That shouldn't even be suggested.

In closing, can you supply an import_request_variables POC?

Thanks as always,
