Class: Cross Site Scripting Severity: Low

Overview:
---------
PHP Event Calendar is a reusable PHP script that extends a web site's
functionality with an event scheduler and/or news archive.
http://www.softcomplex.com/products/php_event_calendar/

Description:
------------
A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in PHP Event Calendar, due to
input
validation error in parameters tilte(ti), body(bi) and backgroung
Image(cbgi)
in cl_files/index.php page when adding a new event.

Successful exploitation requires authentication.

Impact:
-------
An authenticated remote attacker could inject malicious HTML and script
code in
other user's browser session within the security context of the affected
site.

Affected Software(s):
---------------------
PHP Event Calendar 1.5.1 (prior versions may also be vulnerable)

Proof of Concept:
-----------------
http://www.yoursite.com/directory_where_you_installed_php_event_calendar/cl
_files/index.php
Vulnerable fields: title field - ti
body field - bi
Backgroung Image - cbgi

Insert "<script>alert('XSS Vulnerable');</script>" in above field and
click
"Add event".

CVSS Score Report:
-----------------
ACCESS_VECTOR = REMOTE
ACCESS_COMPLEXITY = LOW
AUTHENTICATION = REQUIRED
CONFIDENTIALITY_IMPACT = NONE
INTEGRITY_IMPACT = PARTIAL
AVAILABILITY_IMPACT = NONE
IMPACT_BIAS = INTEGRITY
EXPLOITABILITY = PROOF_OF_CONCEPT
REMEDIATION_LEVEL = OFFICIAL_FIX
REPORT_CONFIDENCE = CONFIRMED
CVSS Base Score = 2.1 (AV:R/AC:L/Au:R/C:N/I:P/A:N/B:I)
CVSS Temporal Score = 1.6
Risk factor = Low

Vendor Response:
---------------
"Attached is the version that blocks the use of the <script> in the
text of the event. We can't block use of HTML completely because many
users want to be able to use HTML for the event descriptions. The
events are managed in the password protected control panel so there
was no security threat even before the change was applied."

Solution:
---------

Update to the fixed version,
http://www.softcomplex.com/products/php_event_calendar/

Credits:
--------
NR Nandini of OS2A has been credited with the discovery of this
vulnerability.
