CVE-2005-2187
CVE-2005-2188


Description:
Several vulnerabilities have been reported in McAfee Intrushield IPS Management Console, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, bypass security restrictions, and gain escalated privileges in the web application.

1) Inputs passed to the "thirdMenuName" and "resourceName" parameters in "SystemEvent.jsp" aren't properly santised 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.

2) Inputs passed to the "AccessRight" parameter in "reports-column-center.jsp" isn't properly sanitsed before being used. This can be exploited to view the "Generate Reports" page, which should not be accessible by non-privileged users.

3) Inputs passed to the "fullAccess" parameter in "SystemEvent.jsp" isn't properly santised before being used. This can be exploited to gain escalated privileges in the application.

Successful exploitation requires a valid logon.

Solution:
Update to version 2.1.9.17.
