Description:
Corsaire has reported two vulnerabilities in WebIntelligence, which can be exploited by malicious people to delete sensitive information and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Some security checks are only performed on the client-side and not on the server-side. This can be exploited to delete documents by directly accessing a specially crafted URL with the document ID and document name parameters set.
2) Input passed to the document name when uploading documents isn't properly sanitised on server-side 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 a vulnerable site.
The vulnerabilities have been reported in WebIntelligence 2.7 and BusinessObjects 5.1. Other versions may also be affected.
