TITLE:
cPanel Cross-Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA30166

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/30166/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
cPanel 11.x
http://secunia.com/product/14577/

DESCRIPTION:
Matteo Carli has reported some vulnerabilities in cPanel, which can
be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed to the "issue" parameter in scripts2/knowlegebase,
"user" in scripts2/changeip, and "search" in scripts2/listaccts is
not 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.

NOTE: Other parameters are reportedly also affected.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
request. This can be exploited to e.g. add users, change passwords,
suspend accounts, or restart services or the server by enticing a
logged-in user to visit a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 11.18.4-23888
and 11.22.2-23808.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 11.18.4-23888 or 11.22.2-23808.
