Vulnerable: PBLang 4.65 (current) (and earlier?)


---

General information:

PBLang is an international BBS-software based on
PHP. It does not require any database but bases on a
flatfile system. Many professional features. More
info on the project website.


---

Description:

The search.php script is vulnerable to a XSS attack
by a remote attacker. The searched string is not
filtered for any harmfull characters like < > and ".
This makes it possible for an attacker to trick a
user into going to a harmfull page and stealing a
session.


---

Proof Of Concept:

Type in the search box "<script
language="javascript">alert("Hackerlounge.com pwns
joo");</script>" and submit. An alertbox with the
text "Hackerlounge.com pwns joo" should come up.


---

Fix and Vendor status:

The vendor has been notified, expect an official
patch soon.
