PKP Open Journal Systems through 3.5.0-5 contains an insecure direct object reference vulnerability that allows journal or subscription managers to access other journals' subscriptions by supplying arbitrary subscription ids. Attackers can enumerate sequential ids through editSubscription to view subscriber details and use updateSubscription to reassign subscriptions to their own journal, revoking victims' access.
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in Pkp OJS v.3.4 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the input subtitle component.
Cross Site Scripting vulnerability in Pkp OJS v.3.4 allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the Input Title component.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Pkp Ojs v3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Publicname parameter.
A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Submission module of Pkp Ojs v3.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the Input subject field under the Add Discussion function.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Open Journal Systems before 2.3.7 allow remote attackers and remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) editor or (2) callback parameters to lib/pkp/lib/tinymce/jscripts/tinymce/plugins/ibrowser/ibrowser.php in the iBrowser plugin, (3) authors[][url] parameter to index.php, or (4) Bio Statement or (5) Abstract of Submission fields to the stripUnsafeHtml function in lib/pkp/classes/core/String.inc.php.
Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the iBrowser plugin library, as used in Open Journal Systems before 2.3.7, allow remote authenticated users to (1) delete or (2) rename arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the param parameter to lib/pkp/lib/tinymce/jscripts/tinymce/plugins/ibrowser/scripts/rfiles.php.
Incomplete blacklist vulnerability in Open Journal Systems before 2.3.7 allows remote authenticated users with the Author Role permission to execute arbitrary code by uploading a file with an executable extension that is not ".php", then accessing it via a direct request to the file in submission/original/ in the associated article directory, as demonstrated using .pHp, .asp, and other extensions.
