Security Advisory – Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities

October 7, 2013 | Posted by Cody


Affected Versions

Versions 3.0.0 through 3.0.3 are affected.

Description

Some messages may be rendered without proper sanitization, making the system vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks through carefully crafted URLs. Two distinct message types are vulnerable to such an attack. Disabling PHP error reporting mitigates one of these vectors. Both issues are fully resolved in patch release 3.0.4.

Resolution

Upgrade to version 3.0.4. Related tasks:
