Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-1414)

CWE-ID: CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the HTTP request origin. A remote attacker can trick the victim to visit a specially crafted web page and perform arbitrary actions on behalf of the victim on the vulnerable website.


2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2156)

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear


Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform XSS attacks.

The vulnerability is caused by an input validation error in Plume CMS 1.2.4 and earlier when processing (1) the u_email parameter (aka Authors Email field) to manager/users.php, (2) the u_realname parameter (aka Authors Name field) to manager/users.php, or (3) the c_author parameter (aka Author field) in an ADD A COMMENT section. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
