Technical

Silva CMS SilvaFind 1.1.5 and earlier contain a flaw that allows remote cross site scripting. SilvaFind is a Silva extension offering a highly customizable search solution for use with Silva.

Cross-site scripting occurs where the "fulltext" variable doesn't properly sanitize input upon submission to the search script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

The vulnerability is reported in Silva Find version 1.1.5 and prior included in Silva prior to 2.1.0.2, 2.0.12.2, and 1.6.3.2.

Solution

Upgrade to version 2.1.0.2, 2.0.12.2, 1.6.3.2 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
