*Proof of Concept (PoC)*

Remote OS Command Injection (Webuzo) - CVE-2013-6041
----------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------
Reflected Cross-site scripting (File Manager module) - CVE-2013-6042
--------------------------------------------------------------------

Eventhough the user parameter is not validated properly which resulted in XSS, there are sets of security protection in place provided by vendor. There is security token which randomly generated, however the token is passed via URL and HTTPS is not enforced by default. The vendor also claims that the token is assigned only to a particular IP address which will logout the user if the token is used by another IP address.

This issue can be considered as informational or very low risk issue depending on the environment setup and method used by attacker to obtain the token.
