IceWarp install/index.html lang Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 53869

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack.

Description

The remote web server hosts a PHP script that is susceptible to a cross-site scripting attack. The script 'install/index.html' does not properly sanitize input data to the 'lang' parameter before including it in HTML generated dynamically.

As a result of this vulnerability, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code that will be executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user when followed.

This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to version 10.3.0 or later.
