Plesk Reloaded login_up.php3 login_name Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 14369

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running Plesk Reloaded (from SWsoft), a web-based system administration tool.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack because of its failure to sanitize user input to the 'login_name' parameter of the 'login_up.php3' script. This issue can be used to take advantage of the trust between a client and server allowing the malicious user to execute malicious JavaScript on the client's machine.

Solution

Reportedly the vendor has issued patches, which are available via its website or the software's autoupdate feature.
