Albinator File Inclusion and Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/19952/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

REVISION:
1.1 originally posted 2006-05-04

SOFTWARE:

http://secunia.com/product/9730/

DESCRIPTION:
Pridels Sec Crew has reported some vulnerabilities in Albinator,
which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Input passed to the "Config_rootdir" parameter in "eday.php",
"eshow.php", and "forgot.php", and the "dirpath" parameter in
"gc.php" and "integration.inc.php" isn't properly verified, before it
is used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary
files from external and local resources.

2) Input passed to the "cid" parameter in "dlisting.php" and the
"preloadSlideShow" parameter in "showpic.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.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 2.0.8. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised and
verified.
