Phproject versions from 1.1.6 up to but not including 1.8.7 have a missing object-level authorization vulnerability in the REST API issue endpoints. Authenticated API key holders can bypass confidentiality controls to read restricted issue data and post unauthorized comments. This vulnerability allows access to sensitive information such as owner and author email addresses.

Phproject is a high performance full-featured project management system. From 1.8.0 to before 1.8.3, a Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the Planned Hours field when creating a new project. When sending a POST request to /issues/new/, the value provided in the Planned Hours field is included in the server response without any HTML encoding or sanitization. Because of this, an attacker can craft a malicious payload such as <script>alert(1)</script> and include it in the planned_hours parameter. The server reflects the input directly in the HTML of the project creation page, causing the browser to interpret and execute it. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.8.3.
