Title: Claroline Add_Course.PHP Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Claroline is a web-based collaborative learning environment based on PHP/MySQL.
Reportedly Claroline is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the 'add_course.php' script. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
The problem presents itself when malicious script code is passed through the 'wantedCod', 'faculte', 'intitule', 'languageCourse', 'titulaires', and 'email' parameters of the 'add_course.php' script.
As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code that will be executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
Affected Products:
- Claroline Claroline 1.5.0
- Claroline Claroline 1.5.3
