DESCRIPTION:
J. Greil has discovered multiple vulnerabilities in Sawmill, which
can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security
restrictions and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks, disclose sensitive information, bypass certain security
restrictions, and compromise a vulnerable system.

1) Insufficient validation of permissions when accessing template
files can be exploited to e.g. reset the administrative password and
modify profiles of other users.

2) Input passed via the URL (when "dp" is set to any value) is not
properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

3) Lack of authentication when executing certain administrative tasks
can be exploited to e.g. create administrative users, disclose
contents of arbitrary files, and execute shell commands via certain
action parameters specified in the URL.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 8.1.5.1. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.1.7.3.
