TITLE:
ADOdb Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA18928

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/18928/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
ADOdb 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/6701/

DESCRIPTION:
James Bercegay has reported some vulnerabilities in ADOdb, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

1) Input passed to the "next_page" parameter in adodb-pager.inc.php
isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can
be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Unsafe use of PHP_SELF in adodb-pager.inc.php can be exploited to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 4.71. Prior
versions may also be affected.

Note: Some unspecified input validation issues have also been
reported in various performance scripts such as adodb-perf.inc.php
and perf-oci8.inc.php. However, granting access to these scripts
reportedly already assumes that the user is permitted to execute SQL
statements in the system.

SOLUTION:
A fixed version will reportedly be released by the vendor.
