TITLE:
CPanel Multiple Vulnerabilities
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA22825
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/22825/
CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Hijacking, Cross Site Scripting
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
cPanel 10.x
http://secunia.com/product/5280/
DESCRIPTION:
Aria-Security has reported some vulnerabilities in cPanel, which can
be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks
and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.
1) Input passed to the "dir" parameter in files/seldir.html and
htaccess/newuser.html is not properly sanitised before being used to
include files. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and
script code in a user's browser session in context of affected site.
2) Input passed to the "user" parameter in htaccess/newuser.html is
not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to
insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an
administrative user's browser session in context of an affected
site.
Successful exploitation requires administrative privileges.
3) An error exists due to the application allowing users to perform
certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity
checks to verify the user's request. This can e.g. be exploited
conduct script insertion attacks in combination with vulnerability
#2.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 10. Other versions may
also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Do not follow links from untrusted sources or visit untrusted web
sites while being logged in to the application.
