High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Aztek Forum version 4.00
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass security measures by sending a specially crafted cookie. This can lead to entering potentially dangerous data, including URL encoded double quotes (
%22 sequences), into the system. The vulnerability is located in the common/safety.php file and exploits the fact that the blacklist matching is only applied against the GET and PUT superglobal arrays.Recommendations
For Aztek Forum version 4.00, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the
common/safety.php file until a patch is available. Additionally, restrict the use of cookies that may bypass the blacklist matching to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
