Title: Chatness Multiple Remote Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Chatness is a chat application implemented in PHP.

The application is prone to a multiple remote vulnerabilities:

- An information-disclosure vulnerability occurs because the application discloses the adminstrator's username and password in plain text in a pre-filled form. This issue occurs in the '/admin/options.php' script.

- An arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability occurs in the '/admin/save.php' and the
'index.php' scripts. Specifically, the application permits an attacker to overwrite files with a '.html' extension. This issue may allow the attacker to overwrite 'header.html' and 'footer.html' with arbitrary PHP code, resulting in code execution within the context of the webserver process.

The attacker can exploit these issues to gain administrative access to the affected application, to overwrite arbitrary HTML files, and to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the webserver process.

These issues affect Chatness 2.5.3 and prior versions.

Affected Products:

  • Chatness Chatness 2.5.3
