Private Message System Multiple Vulnerabilities
Private Message System is prone to multiple vulnerabilities that can allow remote attackers to carry out cross-site scripting attacks and disclose arbitrary private messages. The vulnerability exists in the 'message_send.php' script, specifically in the 'tid' parameter. An attacker can exploit this issue by injecting arbitrary HTML or script code into the vulnerable parameter, potentially allowing them to steal sensitive information or execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected site.
Mitigation:
To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated web pages or database queries. Additionally, restricting access to the affected script or implementing proper input validation can also help prevent exploitation.
