HP OpenView Performance Insight sendEmail.jsp XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 55831

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of HP OpenView Performance Insight running on the remote host has a reflected cross-site scripting vulnerability. Input to the 'bgcolor' parameter of sendEmail.jsp is not properly sanitized. A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in arbitrary script code execution.

This software has several other cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and an arbitrary code execution vulnerability, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.

Solution

Apply the HP OpenView Performance Insight hotfix referenced in the vendor's advisory.
