TITLE:
MySQL Eventum Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA13677

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/13677/

CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
MySQL Eventum 1.x
http://secunia.com/product/4464/

DESCRIPTION:
sullo has reported multiple vulnerabilities in Eventum, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting and
script insertion attacks and potentially bypass certain security
restrictions.

1) Input passed to the "email" parameter in "index.php" and
"forgot_password.php", and the "title" and "outgoing_sender_name"
parameters in "projects.php" is not properly sanitised before being
returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in a user's browser session in context of a
vulnerable site.

2) Input passed to the "full_name", "sms_email", "list_refresh_rate",
and "emails_refresh_rate" parameters in "preferences.php" is not
properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to inject
arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site, when the malicious
user data is viewed.

3) Eventum has a undocumented default administrator account
(system-account@example.com) with a default MD5 encrypted password.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
1, 2) Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly
sanitised.
3) Disable the "system-account@example.com" account.
