CRITICAL:
Moderately critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, Manipulation of data

DESCRIPTION:
s3rv3r_hack3r has reported some vulnerabilities in NixieAffiliate,
which can be exploited by malicious people to bypass certain security
restrictions and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) The delete.php script allows to perform certain actions via HTTP
GET request without checking for valid permissions, which can be
exploited to delete arbitrary affiliates.

2) Input passed to the "error" parameter in forms/lostpassword.php is
not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that permissions are properly verified
and input is properly sanitised.
