# Bug in a nut shell #
Students that use this system could inject malicious code into the "New
Question: " field (NAME="question"). When saving the changes, the system does
not strip out HTML entities.
# Bug scenario #
Jim does not like his teacher / administrator at his school. He changes his
forgotten pin security question. He puts in a specially crafted piece of code
in the field to call a remote javascript file. He emails his teacher
administrator and tells them he has forgotten his password and wonders if they
could walk him through out to retrieve it. He tells them that he can not get it
to work and asks them if the could try to retrieve his password. They enter in
his username and hit the "forget password?" button. The next screen comes up
and the script is launched. Jim could steal the session of the teacher /
administrator, he could fake a login page and wait for his teacher
/administrator to authenticate, or he could just do malicious things to their
browser.
# Bug PoC #
Enter ANY html into the "New Question" field and hit submit.
Logout and then go to the login screen again.
Enter in your username and hit forget password.
# Fix #
Sanitize the user input in all fields to make sure there is no unwanted
characters ( html entities ). You could encode them on POST.
