SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA31503

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/31503/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data, Exposure
of sensitive information

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Harmoni 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/19539/

DESCRIPTION:
Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Harmoni, which can be
exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security restrictions
and conduct cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) A vulnerability is caused due to the application allowing users to
perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any
validity checks to verify the request. This can be exploited to e.g.
create new accounts and grant privileges, by enticing a logged-in
administrator to visit a malicious web page, or to e.g. delete
content, by enticing a logged-in user to visit a malicious web page.

2) A vulnerability is caused due to improper access restriction. This
can be exploited to bypass the authentication mechanism and display
usernames and asset (content) IDs.

The vulnerabilities are reported in all versions prior to 1.6.0.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.6.0.
