Dokeos Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

Dokeos is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities including five SQL-injection issues, one HTML-injection issue, three cross-site scripting issues, and one arbitrary-file-upload issue. Attackers can exploit these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the context of the webserver, compromise the application, steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of the site, modify the way the site is rendered, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to Dokeos 1.8.4 SP2 or later.
