Title: GL-SH Deaf Forum Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability and Arbitrary File Upload Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
GL-SH Deaf Forum is a web-based forum application implemented in PHP.
The application is prone to two vulnerabilities because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input:
1. A cross-site scripting vulnerability affects the 'search.php' script.
2. An arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability affects the 'upload.php' script.
An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks. The attacker can exploit the file-upload issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the webserver.
GL-SH Deaf Forum 6.5.5 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
Affected Products:
- Frank Karau GL-SH Deaf Forum 6.5.5
