Title: PABox HTML Injection Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
paBox is a web-application that is written in PHP. It will run on Unix and Linux variants, as well as Microsoft Windows operating systems.
paBox is reportedly affected by a HTML injection vulnerability. This issue is due to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. This issue affects two hidden parameters, 'time' and 'date', of 'thebox.php'.
The attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be able to access properties of the site, potentially allowing for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker could also exploit this issue to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
This vulnerability is reported to affect paBox version 1.6.
paBox version 2.0 does not appear to be affected by this vulnerability; this has not been confirmed by the vendor.
Affected Products:
- PHP Arena paBox 1.6.0
