---[ Software Description ]

UMI.CMS is a content management system (CMS) software, usually implemented 
as a Web application, for creating and managing HTML content. It is used to 
manage and control a large, dynamic collection of Web material (HTML 
documents and their associated images).


---[ Vulnerability Description ]

Positive Technologies Research Team has discovered a Cross-Site Scripting 
(XSS) vulnerability in UMI.CMS.

User input passed to the "fields_filter" setting is not properly sanitized. 
This can be exploited to inject malicious code and allows to execute 
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an 
affected site.

Example:
http://[server]/market/[content_dir]/?fields_filter[price][0]=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS')%3C/script%3E&fields_filter[price][1]=1

Malicious users may inject JavaScript, VBScript, ActiveX, HTML or Flash into 
a vulnerable application to fool users in order to gather data from their 
machines. An attacker can steal the session cookie and take over the account 
impersonating the user. It is also possible to modify page content presented 
to the user.


---[ Solution ]

Update to version 2.7.1 (build 10856).
