Jose Antonio Coret reports that GForge contains multiple
Cross Site Scripting vulnerabilities and an e-mail flood
vulnerability:
The login form is also vulnerable to XSS (Cross Site
Scripting) attacks. This may be used to launch phising
attacks by sending HTML e-mails (i.e.: saying that you
need to upgrade to the latest GForge version due to a
security problem) and putting in the e-mail an HTML link
that points to an specially crafted url that inserts an
html form in the GForge login page and when the user press
the login button, he/she send the credentials to the
attackers website.
The 'forgot your password?' feature allows a remote user
to load a certain URL to cause the service to send a
validation e-mail to the specified user's e-mail address.
There is no limit to the number of messages sent over a
period of time, so a remote user can flood the target
user's secondary e-mail address. E-Mail Flood, E-Mail
bomber.
