ScareCrow Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18084

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18084/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
ScareCrow 2.x
http://secunia.com/product/6534/

DESCRIPTION:
r0t has reported some vulnerabilities in ScareCrow, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed to the "forum" parameter in "forum.cgi" and "post.cgi",
and the "user" parameter in "profile.cgi" isn't 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 have been reported in version 2.13 and prior.
Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
