Security issue details

We provide the details of some fixed security bugs here.

Possible XSS in moderate

A topic title was not converted to HTML in forum moderation. A user could steal moderator's & administrator's session by injecting JavaScript in the topic title.

Possible XSS in login

Password field value (set directly from POST-request) was not properly escaped, so that one could use it to execute JavaScript. CSRF confirm message would be displayed.

Potential SQL-injections at admin/users.php page

The values of $_POST['order_by'] and $_POST['direction'] were escaped, but not logically checked before using in SQL query at the Administration ⇒ Users page. One could execute any SQL query via making administrator to send a POST-request (e.g. giving him a link to the specially formed page). CSRF confirm message would be displayed.

Potential SQL-injections in admin/settings.php via configuration values

The values of configuration options were not checked before using in SQL query at Administration ⇒ Settings page. One could execute any SQL query via making administrator to send a POST-request (e.g. giving him a link to the specially formed page). CSRF confirm message would be displayed.
