Openfire Admin Console login.jsp XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 51143

Synopsis

A web application on the remote host has a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The Openfire admin console running on the remote host has a cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input to the 'username' parameter of 'login.jsp' is not properly sanitized.

An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into making a specially crafted POST request, resulting in arbitrary script execution in the user's browser.

This version of Openfire likely has other vulnerabilities, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.

Solution

Upgrade to Openfire 3.7.0 beta or later.
