Description
Vulnerability Description
E107 version 0.614 contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate variables "login name/author" upon submission to the "news submit" and "article submit" scripts with guest user privilege. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
Solution Description
Upgrade to version 0.615 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
