Cross-Site Scripting

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities allow a third party to manipulate the content or behaviour of a web application in a user's browser, without compromising the underlying system.

Different Cross-Site Scripting related vulnerabilities are also classified under this category, including "script insertion" and "cross-site request forgery".

Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are often used against specific users of a website to steal their credentials or to conduct spoofing attacks.

Manipulation of data

This includes vulnerabilities where a user or a remote attacker can manipulate local data on a system, but not necessarily be able to gain escalated privileges or system access.

The most frequent type of vulnerabilities with this impact are SQL-injection vulnerabilities, where a malicious user or person can manipulate SQL queries.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FreeRealty, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site request forgery and SQL injection attacks.

1) Input passed via the "view" parameter to agentdisplay.php is not properly sanitised before being used in a SQL query. This can be exploited to manipulate SQL queries by injecting arbitrary SQL code.

2) Input passed via the "title", "previewdesc", "fulldesc", and "notes" POST parameters to agentadmin.php when creating or updating a property listing 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 context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

3) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. create an arbitrary user with administrative privileges if a logged-in administrative user visits a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.1-0.6. Other versions may also be affected.

Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do not browse untrusted sites or follow untrusted links while being logged-in to the application.
