Axous · Axous · CVE-2012-2629
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Axous versions 1.1.1 and earlier
**Description**
Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) and cross-site scripting (XSS) issues allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests. This can be done via various parameters to different PHP files, including `page title` to "admin/content pages edit.php", `category name[]` to "admin/products category.php", and multiple parameters to "admin/settings siteinfo.php", "admin/settings company.php", and "admin/settings email.php".
**Recommendations**
For Axous versions 1.1.1 and earlier, consider disabling access to the vulnerable PHP files, such as "admin/administrators add.php", "admin/content pages edit.php", "admin/products category.php", "admin/settings siteinfo.php", "admin/settings company.php", and "admin/settings email.php", until a patch is available.
Restrict the use of vulnerable parameters, including `page title`, `category name[]`, `site name`, `seo title`, `meta keywords`, `company name`, `address1`, `address2`, `city`, `state`, `country`, `author first name`, `author last name`, `author email`, `contact first name`, `contact last name`, `contact email`, `general email`, `general phone`, `general fax`, `sales email`, `sales phone`, `support email`, `support phone`, `system email`, `sender name`, `smtp server`, `smtp username`, `smtp password`, and `order notice email`, to minimize the risk of exploitation.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
