    1. DESCRIPTION
    =================================================
    
    "TUTOS is a tool to manage the the organizational needs of small
    groups, teams, departments ...
    To do this it provides some web-based tools"
    
    (direct quote from http://www.tutos.org)
    
    
    2. DETAILS
    =================================================
    
    ¤ Cross Site Scripting :
    
    Many exploitable bugs was found in Tutos which cause script
    execution on client's computer by following a crafted url.
    
    This kind of attack known as "Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability"
    is present in many section of the web site, an attacker can input
    specially crafted links and/or other malicious scripts.
    
    An attacker can upload a file and execute it on the client's computer.
    The browser IE can execute a HTML page without extension.
    
    
    3. EXPLOITS
    =================================================
    
    ¤ Cross Site Scripting :
    
    http://[target]/tutos/file/file_select.php?msg=<hostile code>
    
    All url with attribute msg...
    
    The hostile code could be :
    
    [script]alert("Cookie="+document.cookie)[/script]
    
    (open a window with the cookie of the visitor.)
    
    (replace [] by <>)
    
    ¤ Upload a file with a malicious script
    
    We can upload via http://[target]/tutos/file/file_new.php?link_id=1065
    
    The path is http://[target]/tutos/repository/[project number]/[file
    number]/FILE
    
    
    4. SOLUTIONS
    =================================================
    
    The Problem is solved for all new releases where the given <hostile
    code> is strictly interpreted as NON-HTML code by TUTOS. And most
    messages are stored in the sessiondata and no longer in URLs (there was
    also a problem with too long URLs)
    
    The version that implements this is available via CVS as BRANCH-1-1
    How to get CVS is described on <https://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=8047>
    
    
    5. WORKAROUND
    =================================================
    
    ¤ Cross Site Scripting :
    
    Use the function php eregi_replace to filter the input data.
