    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Apr 03 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12982
    Summary:
    phpMyAdmin is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'convcharset' parameter.

    phpMyAdmin versions prior to 2.6.2-rc1 are affected by this issue.

    2. PHPNuke Multiple Module Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
    BugTraq ID: 12983
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Apr 03 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12983
    Summary:
    PHPNuke is reported prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities affecting various modules. The affected modules include 'Search', 'FAQ', and 'Encyclopedia'. The 'banners.php' script is also affected.

    An attacker can exploit these issues by creating a malicious link containing HTML and script code and send this link to a vulnerable user. This can allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and other attacks.

    PHPNuke 7.6 and prior versions are reportedly affected by these issues.

    3. Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX Control LoadFile Information Di...
    BugTraq ID: 12989
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Apr 04 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12989
    Summary:
    It is reported that the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control is prone to information disclosure vulnerability. Reports indicate that the Adobe Acrobat Reader ActiveX control, may be employed to disclose the existence of a target file.

    4. Early Impact ProductCart Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabi...
    BugTraq ID: 12990
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Apr 04 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12990
    Summary:
    Multiple input validation vulnerabilities reportedly affect Early Impact ProductCart. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to using it to carry out critical actions.

    The first set of issues are cross-site scripting vulnerabilities that affect the 'NewCust.asp' script, the 'storelocator_submit.asp' script, the 'techErr.asp' script, and the 'advSearch_h.asp' script.

    These issues arise as the application fails to properly sanitize input passed through the offending functions before including it in dynamically generated Web content.

    The second set of issues are SQL injection vulnerabilities that affect the 'advSearch_h.asp' script and the 'tarinasworld_butterflyjournal.asp' script. The application includes the value of the offending parameters without sanitization, allowing an attacker to inject SQL syntax and manipulate SQL queries.

    An attacker may leverage these issues to carry out cross-site scripting and SQL injection attacks against the affected application. This may result in the theft of authentication credentials, destruction or disclosure of sensitive data, and potentially other attacks.

    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13007
    Summary:
    It is reported that the PHP-Nuke 'Your_Account' module is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input.

    This problem presents itself when malicious HTML and script code is sent to the application through the 'username' parameter of the 'Your_Account' module.

    This issue could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials.

    30. AN HTTPD CMDIS.DLL Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability
    BugTraq ID: 13066
    Remote: Yes
    Date Published: Apr 08 2005
    Relevant URL: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/13066
    Summary:
    AN HTTPD is reported prone to a remote buffer overflow vulnerability.

    Specifically, the issue presents itself in 'cmdIS.DLL' which calls the 'GetEnvironmentStrings' function to copy environment variables into a finite sized process buffer.

    The attacker can issue a malformed HTTP GET command including excessive data as a value for an affected HTTP header to trigger the overflow. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, allowing the attacker to gain unauthorized access in the context of the Web server.

    Summary:
    It is reported that the Maxthon Web browser Plug-ins employ 'readFile()' and 'writeFile()' API calls to access files in the Plug-in installation directory. However, reports indicate that it is possible to invoke these API calls to read and write arbitrary files by supplying directory traversal sequences in the path to a target file.

    A remote attacker may exploit this issue to read and write files on a target computer with the privileges of a user that is running the vulnerable Web browser.
