XOOPS Local File-Include and Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
XOOPS is prone to a local file-include vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit the local file-include vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to view local files within the context of the webserver process. Information harvested may aid in further attacks. The attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not include malicious code. Additionally, applications should use a secure method of authentication and session management.
