Description:
Sourvivor has reported a vulnerability in Plesk, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "login_name" parameter in "login_up.php3" is not sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site by tricking a user into visiting a malicious website or follow a specially crafted link.
Example:
http://[host]:8443/login_up.php3?login_name=">[code]
The vulnerability has been reported in versions 7.0.0 and 7.1. Version 6.0 is reportedly not affected.
Solution:
The vendor has issued patches, which are available via the vendor web site and the autoupdate feature.
