Summary

phpBugTracker is a web-based bug tracker with functionality similar to other issue tracking systems, such as Bugzilla. Design focuses on separating the presentation, application, and database layers. phpBugTracker is lightweight and easy to install, operate and administer. Most text can be customized for your application.

Description

phpBugTracker suffers from multiple cross-site scripting vulns. The issue is triggered when input passed via the 'form' parameter to the 'query.php' script is not properly sanitized 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. 'query.php' and 'newaccount.php' are also vulnerable because they fail to perform filtering when using the REQUEST_URI variable.
