Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in phpWebSite allowing malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting and SQL injection.
1) One problem is that multiple parameters isn't verified before they are returned to the user. This allows malicious people to conduct Cross Site Scripting.
Example:
index.php?module=search&SEA_search_op=continue&PDA_limit=10"><evil_script>
2) Another problem is that a malicious person can manipulate the SQL query by altering the date parameters when using the calendar function. This could potentially be exploited to inject SQL queries. However, this has not been proved.
Furthermore, it may be possible to cause phpWebSite to return the installation path if an invalid date is supplied.
Solution:
A patch is available:
http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/index....e&ANN_user_op=view&ANN_id=577
Edit "php.ini" so that PHP doesn't return error messages.
