Travelsized CMS Multiple Cross Site Scripting Issues
20 Nov. 2006
Summary
Travelsized CMS is "a content management system made only using PHP". Multiple cross site scripting vulnerabilities have been found in the Travelsized product.
Vulnerable Systems:
* Travelsized CMS version 0.4.1 and prior
Cross Site Scripting:
Input passed directly to the "page", "page_id" and "language" parameter in "index.php" is not properly sanitized 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.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitized. You should work with "htmlspecialchars()" or "htmlentities()" php-function to ensure that HTML tags are not going to be executed. Further it is recommend to set off the "register globals" option in the "php.ini" on your webserver.
