DESCRIPTION:
High-Tech Bridge SA has discovered some vulnerabilities in phpCollab,
which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct cross-site
request forgery and script insertion attacks.

1) 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. change the administrator's
password by tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a
malicious web site.

2) Input passed via the "url" POST parameter to
clients/editclient.php when adding or editing a client 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) Input passed via the "links" POST parameter to
newsdesk/editnews.php when editing a news article 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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires the "Project
Manager Permissions" privileges.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.5. Other versions may
also be affected.

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