TITLE:
concrete5 Cross-Site Scripting and Cross-Site Request Forgery

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35613

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35613/

DESCRIPTION:
Russ McRee has discovered some vulnerabilities in concrete5, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
and cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Input passed via the "uID" parameter to
index.php/dashboard/users/search, the "uVal" parameter to
index.php/dashboard/users/search (if "task" is set to
"simple_search"), the "gKeywords" parameter to
index.php/dashboard/users/groups, and via the "search_paths[]"
parameter to a search block 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.

2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without performing any validation checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. deactivate arbitrary users if
a logged-in administrative user visits a specially crafted web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 5.3.1.1. Other versions
may also be affected

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.3.2.
