Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in the XOOPS Quizz module. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks against module users.
It is reported that, if the administrator has permitted users to develop questions, a remote user can insert HTML into a proposed question (in the answer options). Then, when the administrator previews the quiz question, arbitrary scripting code will be executed by the administrator's browser. The code will originate from the site running the vulnerable software and will run in the security context of that site. As a result, the code will be able to access the administrator's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site, access data recently submitted by the administrator via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the administrator.
The following demonstration content is provided:
)
The vendor has reportedly been notified.
Impact: A remote user can access the administrator's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with the site running
the XOOPS Quizz module, access data recently submitted by the administrator via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the administrator.
Solution: No solution was available at the time of this entry.
