Advisory Content (Page 1 of 3)[ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]

Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Hyperic HQ, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed e.g. via the "typeId" parameter to mastheadAttach.do, the "eid" parameter to Resource.do, and via the "u" parameter to admin/user/UserAdmin.do is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user in an exception handler within hq/web/common/GenericError.jsp. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Input passed via the "Description" parameter is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user in an alert list. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

The vulnerabilities are reported in versions 3.2, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2-beta1, AMS 2.0.0.SR3 and tc Server 6.0.20.B. Other versions may also be affected.
