Title: Manx cms.xml 1.0.1 Multiple HTTP Response Splitting Vulnerabilities
Advisory ID: ZSL-2011-5059
Type: Remote
Impact: Cross-Site Scripting
Risk: (3/5)
Release Date: 28.11.2011

Summary

Manx is a Content Management System that uses xml text files to store the page contents, instead of a mysql database.

Description

Input passed to the POST parameter 'editorChoice' in 'admin_blocks.php' and 'admin_pages.php' and the POST parameter 'theme' in 'admin_css.php', 'admin_js.php' and 'admin_templates.php' is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTTP headers, which are included in a response sent to the user.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

header("Location: " . basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "?theme=" . $_POST['theme']);
header("Location: " . basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']) . "?fileName=" . $fileName . "&editorChoice=" . $_POST['editorChoice']);
