Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 vulnerabilities.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14419)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a modified name of the navigation bar on the home page.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in 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.


2) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14420)

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.


3) Arbitrary file upload (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-13024)

The vulnerability allows a remote privileged user to execute arbitrary code.

Metinfo v6.0.0 allows remote attackers to write code into a .php file, and execute that code, via the module parameter to admin/column/save.php in an editor upload action.


4) Cross-site request forgery (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12530)

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, such as be exploited via CSRF.


5) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-12531)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in MetInfo 6.0.0. installindex.php allows remote attackers to write arbitrary PHP code into config_db.php, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-7271.


6) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9985)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in 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.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-9934)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

The reset-password feature in MetInfo 6.0 allows remote attackers to change arbitrary passwords via vectors involving a Host HTTP header that is modified to specify a web server under the attacker's control.


8) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7721)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data when processing data passed via /feedback/index.php because app/system/feedback/web/feedback.class.php mishandles input data. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in 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.


9) Code Injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7271)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

An issue was discovered in MetInfo 6.0.0. In install/install.php in the installation process, the config/config_db.php configuration file filtering is not rigorous: one can insert malicious code in the installation process to execute arbitrary commands or obtain a web shell.
