CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
MyHeadlines 4.x (module for PHP-Nuke)
http://secunia.com/product/11722/
DESCRIPTION:
Thomas Pollet has discovered a vulnerability in the MyHeadlines
module for PHP-Nuke, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "myh_op" parameter in modules.php is not 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.
Example:
http://[host]/modules.
php?op=modload&name=MyHeadlines&file=index&myh=user&myh_op=show_a
ll[code]&eid=2474
The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 4.3.1. Other versions
may also be affected.
SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
