From remote
SOFTWARE: TorrentFlux 2.x DESCRIPTION: I have discovered a vulnerability in TorrentFlux, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks. Input passed to the torrent field of a GET Request (/startpop.php?torrent=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert(document.cookies);%3C/script%3E.torrent) is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in an users browser session in context of an affected site if a user clicks on a malicious link. The vulnerability has been confirmed in version 2.1. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. /startpop.php Line 36: Change to: $displayName = htmlentities($displayName, ENT_QUOTES); (Line 36 is normally empty) Grant only trusted users access to the application
