Discussion
SyndeoCMS Local File Include, Cross Site Scripting, and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
SyndeoCMS is prone to a local file-include, a cross-site scripting, and an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Exploiting the local file-include issue allows remote attackers to view or execute local files within the context of the webserver process.
An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting and HTML-injection issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, render how the site is displayed, or to launch other attacks.
SyndeoCMS version 2.8.02 and prior are vulnerable.
