An issue was discovered in Serenity Serene (and StartSharp) before 6.7.0. Password reset links are sent by email. A link contains a token that is used to reset the password. This token remains valid even after the password reset and can be used a second time to change the password of the corresponding user. The token expires only 3 hours after issuance and is sent as a query parameter when resetting. An attacker with access to the browser history can thus use the token again to change the password in order to take over the account.

An issue was discovered in Serenity Serene (and StartSharp) before 6.7.0. When a password reset request occurs, the server response leaks the existence of users. If one tries to reset a password of a non-existent user, an error message indicates that this user does not exist.

An XSS issue was discovered in Serenity Serene (and StartSharp) before 6.7.0. When users upload temporary files, some specific file endings are not allowed, but it is possible to upload .html or .htm files containing an XSS payload. The resulting link can be sent to an administrator user.

SerendipityNZ (aka SimpleBoxes) Serene Bach 2.20R and earlier, and 3.00 beta023 and earlier 3.x versions, uses a predictable session id, which makes it easier for remote attackers to hijack sessions via a modified id.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in SimpleBoxes/SerendipityNZ Serene Bach 2.05R and earlier, and 2.08D and earlier in the 2.08 series; and (2) sb 1.13D and earlier, and 1.18R and earlier in the 1.18 series; allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
