TITLE:
WebCollab Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34568

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34568/

DESCRIPTION:
Russ McRee has discovered some vulnerabilities in WebCollab, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
and cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "selection" parameter in tasks.php (when
"action" is set to "todo") 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.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validation checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change a user's password when
a logged in administrator visits a malicious web page.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.40. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 2.50.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
