CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
HitHost 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/8604/
DESCRIPTION:
retard has discovered two vulnerabilities in HitHost, which can be
exploited by malicious people to delete empty directories and conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed to the "hits" parameter in "viewuser.php" and the
"user" parameter in "deleteuser.php" isn't properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.
2) Input passed to the "user" parameter in "deleteuser.php" isn't
properly sanitised before being used to delete directories. This can
be exploited to delete arbitrary empty directories via directory
traversal attacks.
The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.0.0. Other
versions may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
