Detail

Peter Hüwe and Hanno Böck discovered that Serendipity, a weblog manager, did not properly sanitise input to several scripts which allowed for cross site scripting.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.4-1+etch1.

The old stable distribution (sarge) does not contain a serendipity package.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.3-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your serendipity package.

Id Description
43790 Serendipity Received Trackbacks Unspecified XSS

42394 Serendipity serendipity_admin.php Crafted File Upload XSS

42393 Serendipity serendipity_admin.php realname Parameter XSS

Serendipity contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate 'realnames' variables upon submission to the serendipity_admin.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
