Cotonti CMS's Comments plugin deserializes user-supplied data without restricting the classes that may be instantiated. In plugins/comments/controllers/actions/CreateAction.php, a POST parameter obtained via (trim-only sanitization) is passed to with no restriction, reachable by any member with write access to comments (the default setting in plugins/comments/comments.setup.php).

Cotonti Siena 0.9.26 and earlier contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability that allows authenticated users with PFS access to inject arbitrary script payloads by supplying malicious HTML in the ntitle parameter processed through the TXT filter in pfs.main.php. Attackers can create a folder with a crafted title containing script tags that are stored unescaped in the database and execute in the browser of any user who views the folder listing, including administrators.

Cotonti Siena 0.9.26 and earlier contains a cross-site request forgery vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to modify administrator configuration by tricking a logged-in administrator into submitting a forged POST request to the admin.php config update handler, which never invokes the application's CSRF validation function. Attackers can disable the PFS module's file extension whitelist by setting pfsfilecheck to 0, enabling any user with PFS access to upload and execute arbitrary PHP files on the server.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to stored Cross-Site Scripting in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. A folder title (pfftitle) is imported with the 'TXT' filter, which does not strip or encode HTML (the tag check in cotimport is disabled), so an authenticated user can store HTML/JavaScript in a folder title.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.editfolder.php, the folder update action ('a=update') updates folder metadata (title, description, public/gallery flags) without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the Personal File Storage (PFS) module. In modules/pfs/inc/pfs.main.php, the file upload action ('a=upload') processes uploaded files without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token, even though sibling actions such as 'delete' (line 272) do.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration rights handler. In system/admin/admin.rights.php, the rights update action ('a=update') modifies group access rights (including via cotauthaddgroup) without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token.

Cotonti 1.0.0 (master branch, commit f43f1fc3) is vulnerable to Cross-Site Request Forgery in the administration configuration handler. In system/admin/admin.config.php, the configuration update action ('a=update') processes POST data via cotconfigupdateoptions without calling cotcheckxg to validate the anti-CSRF token (the 'x' parameter), unlike other admin handlers (e.g. admin.structure.php, admin.cache.php).

Cotonti Siena 0.9.19 contains a stored cross-site scripting vulnerability in the admin configuration panel's site title parameter. Attackers can inject malicious JavaScript code through the 'maintitle' parameter to execute scripts when administrators view the page.

A vulnerability has been found in Cotonti Siena v0.9.25. Affected by this vulnerability is the file /admin.php?m=config&n=edit&o=core&p=title. The manipulation of the value of title leads to cross-site scripting.

A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Edit Page function of Cotonti CMS v0.9.24 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload.

Cotonti Siena 0.9.20 allows admins to conduct stored XSS attacks via a forum post.

Cotonti Siena 0.9.20 allows admins to conduct stored XSS attacks via a direct message (DM).

SQL injection vulnerability in modules/rss/rss.php in Cotonti before 0.9.14 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via the "c" parameter to index.php.
