Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in cmd.php in phpLDAPadmin 1.2.x before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an _debug command.

Update to the latest upstream development code to fix CVE-2011-4074 and CVE-2011-4075 (XSS and code injection vulnerabilities in versions <= 1.2.1.1)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in phpLDAPadmin, a web-based interface for administering LDAP servers. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  - CVE-2011-4074     Input appended to the URL in cmd.php (when 'cmd' is set     to '_debug') is not properly sanitised before being     returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute     arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser     session in context of an affected site.

  - CVE-2011-4075     Input passed to the 'orderby' parameter in cmd.php (when     'cmd' is set to'query_engine', 'query' is set to 'none',     and 'search' is set to e.g.'1') is not properly     sanitised in lib/functions.php before being used in     a'create_function()' function call. This can be     exploited to inject and execute arbitrary PHP code.
