Subject: CSS found in Movable Type
Summary:
Movable Type is a decentralized web-based personal publishing system
designed to ease maintenance of regularly-updated content. This content
can consist of, but is not limited to, entries in a weblog or online
journal, photographs in an online photo gallery, news headlines on a
newspaper site, or articles in an online magazine.
Details:
Vendor's site: www.movabletype.org
Vulnerable systems:
Movable Type version 2.63 and prior.
Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability found in writing the comments, in the
Comments section there is sevral textboxs:
Name, Email Address, URL and Comments.
and all the textboxs allow using the javascript codes.
in order to causes a CSS attack on the target site we need to write a
javascript code in the Name textbox (in some versions u can write the
javascript code in the other textboxs of the Comments).
Examples:
You can use this javascripts codes:
<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>
<script>alert("CSS discovered by DarkHunter")</script>
"DarkHunter><script> .. (This code is so bad :) .. it causes disappering
of all the Comments textboxs and buttons .. in other words every thing
after this code will disapper).
and of course there are many codes that u can use.
Solution:
Edit the source code to strip malicious characters from Name, Email
Address, URL and Comments textboxs or escape malicious characters using
addslashes().
check the vendor's website for new patches.
