Description

Core Security Technologies has discovered two vulnerabilities in ICQ Toolbar, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct script insertion attacks.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to input validation errors in the processing of the title and description fields in RSS feeds. This can be exploited to inject and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in context of the RSS feed content by tricking a user into adding a malicious RSS feed and then viewing the content of it.

It has also been reported that it is possible to trick a user into changing various non-sensitive configuration settings.

The vulnerabilities have been confirmed in version 1.3. Other versions may also be affected.


Solution
Do not add RSS feeds from untrusted sources.

Lucas Lavarello, Sebastian Cufre, Ezequiel Gutesman, Javier Garcia Di Palma, and Luciana Tabo from Core Security Technologies.
