CVE-2013-5670

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Serendipity versions prior to 1.7.3

Description A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists due to insufficient validation of user input. This allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the to r list parameter in the htmlarea SpellChecker module.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.7.3, update to version 1.7.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the spell-check-savedicts.php file in the htmlarea SpellChecker module to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the to r list parameter in the affected module until the issue is resolved.
