DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered some vulnerabilities in SyndeoCMS,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion
attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery
attacks.

1) Input passed via the "header" parameter to starnet/index.php when
using the "Template editor" module is not properly sanitised before
being displayed to the user. This can be exploited to insert
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious
data is being viewed

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Module
manager" permissions.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrative
password or edit the module values by tricking a logged in
administrative user into visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.9.0. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do
not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while logged
in to the application.
