Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Adaptive Technology Resource Centre ATutor 1.4.1/1.4.2/1.4.3/1.5.1/1.5.1 Pl1 (Learning Management Software). This affects an unknown code of the file translate.php. The manipulation of the argument base_href with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on integrity. The summary by CVE is:

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in ATutor 1.4.1 through 1.5.1-pl1 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via (1) the _base_href parameter in translate.php, (2) the _base_path parameter in news.inc.php, and (3) the p parameter in add_note.php.

The bug was discovered 10/10/2005. The weakness was released 10/27/2005 by Andreas Sandblad with Secunia Research (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at secunia.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2005-3403 since 11/01/2005. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. It demands that the victim is doing some kind of user interaction. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.
