    <p>
    phpGroupWare is a multi-user groupware suite written in PHP.
    </p>

  <description>
    <p>
    phpGroupWare improperly validates the "mid" parameter retrieved
    via a forum post. The current version of phpGroupWare also adds several
    safeguards to prevent XSS issues, and disables the use of a potentially
    vulnerable XML-RPC library.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="high">
    <p>
    A remote attacker may leverage the XML-RPC vulnerability to
    execute arbitrary PHP script code. He could also create a specially
    crafted request that will reveal private posts.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All phpGroupWare users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=www-apps/phpgroupware-0.9.16.008"</code>
  </resolution>
