Discussion
Quate CMS Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities
Quate CMS is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. These issues include remote and local file-include vulnerabilities, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, and a directory-traversal vulnerability.
An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary local or remote script code in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, obtain potentially sensitive information, or compromise the affected application and possibly the underlying system.
Quate CMS 0.3.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
