The file management system contains shell command injection vulnerabilities, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary OS command execution by a user who has a permission to sign-in to the admin script and also has a permission to upload files. Session hijack and cross-site request forgery vulnerabilities exist in the commenting and the community script. A remote attacker could hijack the user session or could execute arbitrary script code on victim's browser under the certain circumstances. Templates which do not escape variable properly and mt-wizard.cgi contain cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 4.3.8+dfsg-0+squeeze2. For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 5.1.3+dfsg-1. We recommend that you upgrade your movabletype-opensource packages.
