Title: DirectTopics HTML Injection Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
DirectTopics is Web based forum software utilizing a MySQL backend and is implemented in PHP.
DirectTopics is prone to an HTML injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Specifically user-supplied input to posted threads is not sanitized, allowing script or HTML code to be included in forum topics.
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.
Affected Products:
- DirectTopics.nl DirectTopics 2.1.0
- DirectTopics.nl DirectTopics 2.2.0
- DirectTopics.nl DirectTopics DT 2beta
- DirectTopics.nl DirectTopics DT 2final
