Some vulnerabilities have been discovered in Openfire, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, and by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and disclose sensitive information.

1) Input passed to the "log" parameter in logviewer.jsp and log.jsp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

2) Input passed to the "search" parameter in group-summary.jsp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

3) Input passed to the "username" parameter in user-properties.jsp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

4) Input passed to the "logDir", "maxTotalSize", "maxFileSize", "maxDays", and "logTimeout" parameters in audit-policy.jsp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site.

5) Input passed to the "propName" form parameter in server-properties.jsp (when "save" is set to a non-NULL value) is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site when the malicious property name is viewed (e.g. in server-properties.jsp or security-audit-viewer.jsp).

6) Input passed to the "roomconfig_roomname" and "roomconfig_roomdesc" parameters in muc-room-edit-form.jsp is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in the context of an affected site when the malicious chat room information is viewed (e.g. in muc-room-summary.jsp).

7) Input passed to the "log" parameter in log.jsp is not properly verified before being used to read files. This can be exploited to read arbitrary files with the ".log" extension from local resources via directory traversal attacks.

These vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.6.2. Other versions may also be affected.

Solution
Update to version 3.6.3.
