Horde < 3.0.11 / 3.1.2 Multiple Script XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 22004

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of Horde installed on the remote host fails to validate input to the 'url' parameter of the 'services/go.php' script before using it in dynamically-generated content. An unauthenticated attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser.

In addition, similar cross-site scripting issues reportedly exist with the 'module' parameter of the 'services/help/index.php' script and the 'name' parameter of the 'services/problem.php' script.

Solution

Upgrade to Horde 3.0.11 / 3.1.2 or later.
