TITLE:
OpenGoo Cross-Site Scripting and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA34420

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/34420/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenGoo, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks
and by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

1) Input passed via the "search_for" parameter in index.php when
performing a search is not properly sanitised before being returned
to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and
script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected
site.

2) Input passed via the "webpage[url]" parameter when adding a web
link is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be
exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be
executed in a user's browser session in the context of an affected
site when the malicious Web Link is viewed, e.g. in a shared
workspace.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 1.3 and 1.3.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
