| Meunity 1.1 script injection vulnerability |
----------------------------------------------
PROGRAM: Meunity Community System
VULNERABLE VERSIONS: all
IMMUNE VERSIONS: none
SEVERITY: really high
Tested version
==============
Meunity Community System 1.1 (stable) Released with IE 5/5.5/6 and AOL.
Description
============
"Meunity is a sophisticated Web-based community system that uses PHP. It is object oriented, so it is easily extendible. Its database abstraction layer allows it to be compatible with multiple databases." - sourceforge.net
In fact Meunity is a quick and simple CMS with a few options, in this options there's a forum.
There's a vulnerability in the forum that allow a badly disposed member to execute code. The problem appears when a user post in the forum, a vulnerability exists in this CMS that allow a badly disposed member to perform a typical IMG attack against visitors :
<IMG SRC="javascript:alert('unsecure')">
The problem
===========
A badly disposed member can post a topic containing malicious code and as soon as somebody see this topic the code will be executed on his workstation.
Vendors status
==============
I contacted Zack Coburn (Meunity developper) via sourceforge.net one week ago but I had no answer back.
Solution
========
There's no secure release of Meunity Community System, so the unique solution is, at this moment, to disallow posting in Meunity forum to avoid the problem. Hope that Zack Coburn will release a new immune version as soon as possible.
