Advisory Details:
High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Habari which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks and gain potentially sensitive information. 1) Information disclosure weakness in Habari: CVE-2010-4608 The weakness was found in the "/system/admin/header.php" and "/system/admin/comments_items.php" scripts. A remote attacker can obtain knowledge of the application`s installation path by directly accessing the system/admin/header.php and system/admin/comments_items.php scripts. Exploitation example: http://[host]/system/admin/header.php http://[host]/system/admin/comments_i tems.php 2) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Habari: CVE-2010-4607 2.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "additem_form" parameter in system/admin/dash_additem.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website. Successful exploitation requires that victim is logged-in into the application and has access to administrative interface and that register_globals is on. Exploitation example: http://[host]/system/admin/dash_additem.php?additem_form=<script>alert('XSS' );</script> 2.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "status_data" parameter in system/admin/dash_status.php. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the vulnerable script and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of the vulnerable website. Successful exploitation requires that victim is logged-in into the application and has access to administrative interface and that register_globals is on. Exploitation example: http://habari/system/admin/dash_status.php?status_data[1]=<script>alert('XSS ');</script>
