Cerberus FTP Server < 5.0.6.0 Multiple XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 63560

Synopsis

The FTP server installed on the remote Windows host has multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Cerberus FTP server on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.6.0. As such, it is potentially affected by the following cross- site scripting vulnerabilities :

- The user-supplied input for fields under administration 'Messages' tab are not validated before being returned to the user.

- The user-supplied input to the 'USER' FTP command is not validated before display in the administration logging page.

A remote attacker could exploit these by tricking a user into requesting a maliciously crafted URL, resulting in the execution of arbitrary script code.

Solution

Upgrade to Cerberus FTP server 5.0.6.0 or later.
