Friday, 12 October 2007

Vendor: TorrentTrader

Description:
HACKERS PAL has discovered some vulnerabilities in TorrentTrader, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks or to disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "ss_uri" parameter in backend/admin-functions.php is not properly verified before being used to include files. This can be exploited to include arbitrary files from local resources.

2) Input passed to the "color" parameter in pjirc/css.php and to the "cat" parameter in browse.php is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.07. Prior versions may also be affected.

Solution:
Update to version 1.08.
