DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in DotNetNuke, which can be
exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.

The application does not properly sanitise certain input passed via
editor before being used. This can be exploited to insert certain
HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser
session in context of an affected site if malicious data is viewed.

Successful exploitation requires access and editor permissions to a
respective HTML module in versions prior to 5.5.0 and in application
deployments with disabled messaging component.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 5.6.4 and prior to
6.1.0.

Note: Additionally a password field on the registration page has been
adjusted to prevent automatic filling due to a "auto remember" feature
of a browser.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 5.6.4 or 6.1.0.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Richard Lundeen of Microsoft and Microsoft
Vulnerability Research (MSVR).
