Validate-Before-Canonicalize vulnerability in the checkURI function in functions.inc.php in PHPX 3.0 through 3.2.6 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via hex-encoded tags, which bypass the check for literal "", "(", and ")" characters, as demonstrated using the limit parameter to forums.php and a variety of other vectors.

CWE
Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize
mitre_cwe·CVSS 5.0
[MEDIUM] CWE-180 Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize
CWE-180: Incorrect Behavior Order: Validate Before Canonicalize
The product validates input before it is canonicalized, which prevents the product from detecting data that becomes invalid after the canonicalization step.
This can be used by an attacker to bypass the validation and launch attacks that expose weaknesses that would otherwise be prevented, such as injection.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Common Consequences:
Scope: Access Control. Impact: Bypass Protection Mechanism.
Potential Mitigations:
[Implementation] Inputs should be decoded and canonicalized to the application's current internal representation before being validated (CWE-180). Make sure that the application does not decode the same input twice (CWE-174). Such errors could be used to bypass allowlist
CWE
Incorrect Behavior Order: Early Validation
mitre_cwe
CWE-179 Incorrect Behavior Order: Early Validation
CWE-179: Incorrect Behavior Order: Early Validation
The product validates input before applying protection mechanisms that modify the input, which could allow an attacker to bypass the validation via dangerous inputs that only arise after the modification.
Product needs to validate data at the proper time, after data has been canonicalized and cleansed. Early validation is susceptible to various manipulations that result in dangerous inputs that are produced by canonicalization and cleansing.
Modes of Introduction:
Phase: Implementation
Note: Since early validation errors usually arise from improperly implemented defensive mechanisms, it is likely that these will be introduced more frequently as secure programming becomes implemented more widely.
Common Consequences:
Scope: Access Cont
