Title:	MODX CMS 2.x < 2.5.5 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Summary:	MODX CMS is prone to multiple vulnerabilities.
Description:	Summary: MODX CMS is prone to multiple vulnerabilities. Vulnerability Insight: The following vulnerabilities exist: - setup/controllers/language.php does not properly constrain the language parameter, which allows remote attackers to conduct Cookie-Bombing attacks and cause a denial of service (cookie quota exhaustion), or conduct HTTP Response Splitting attacks with resultant XSS, via an invalid parameter value.Critical settings visible in MODx.config. - The update and package-installation features do not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and trigger the execution of arbitrary code via a crafted certificate. - The update and package-installation features use http://rest.modx.com by default, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and trigger the execution of arbitrary code by leveraging the lack of the HTTPS protection mechanism. - setup/controllers/welcome.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the config_key parameter to the setup/index.php?action=welcome URI. - setup/templates/findcore.php allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via the core_path parameter. Affected Software/OS: MODX CMS version 2.x through 2.5.4. Solution: Update to version 2.5.5 or later. CVSS Score: 7.5 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
