Summary
POSH is prone to a local file-include vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user- supplied input.
An attacker can exploit the local file-include vulnerability using directory-traversal strings to view and execute local files within the context of the webserver process. Information harvested may aid in further attacks.
The attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie- based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Versions prior to POSH 3.1.2 are vulnerable.
Solution
Updates are available. Please see the references for more details.
