Title: PHP Gift Registry Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

PHP Gift Registry is a freely available, open source gift sharing web application implemented in PHP.

The vendor has reported that PHP Gift Regisrty is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input.

The problems present themselves when malicious HTML and script code is sent to the application through 'message' parameter of the 'event.php', and the 'index.php' scripts.

These issues could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.

These vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3.5 of the application. Other versions may also be affected.

Affected Products:

  • Ryan Walberg PHP Gift Registry 1.3.5
