DNN (DotNetNuke) 7.0.x < 7.0.6 Unspecified Modal Window XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 66755

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an ASP.NET application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of DNN installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. The vulnerability exists due to a flaw in the code used to generate the pop-up modal windows.

Note also that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to DNN version 7.0.6 or later.
