Open Journal Systems (OJS) 2.3.6 – Multiple Script Arbitrary File Upload
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/52666/info Open Journal Systems is prone to following multiple vulnerabilities because the software fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input: 1. An arbitrary-file-deletion vulnerability 2. A security vulnerability 3. An arbitrary-file-upload vulnerability 4. Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code, upload arbitrary files, and execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges. These issues may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. Open Journal Systems 2.3.6 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
