Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone 4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL.

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 2.5.x prior to 2.5.5, 3.x prior to 3.3.6, 4.x prior to 4.0.4, 4.1.x prior to 4.1.1. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities:

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a     crafted URL (CVE-2011-1948)

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the safe_html filter in Products.PortalTransforms allows remote     authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors (CVE-2011-1949)

  - plone.app.users allows remote authenticated users to modify the properties of arbitrary accounts via unspecified     vectors, as exploited in the wild in June 2011 (CVE-2011-1950)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20110531) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone 4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject
    arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL. (CVE-2011-1948)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Plone 4.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject     arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL. (CVE-2011-1948)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2012-0151 advisory.

    - Fix bz711494 (CVE-2011-1948 plone: reflected XSS vulnerability)
    - Fix bz771920 (CVE-2011-4924 Zope: Incomplete upstream patch for CVE-2010-1104/bz577019)
    - Fix bz577019 (CVE-2010-1104 zope: XSS on error page)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

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

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2012:0151 advisory.

  - zope: XSS on error page (CVE-2010-1104)

  - plone: A reflected cross site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2011-1948)

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

The conga packages provide a web-based administration tool for remote cluster and storage management.

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were found in luci, the conga web-based administration application. If a remote attacker could trick a user, who was logged into the luci interface, into visiting a specially crafted URL, it would lead to arbitrary web script execution in the context of the user's luci session. (CVE-2010-1104, CVE-2011-1948)

These updated conga packages include several bug fixes and an enhancement.

Users of conga are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add this enhancement. After installing the updated packages, luci must be restarted ('service luci restart') for the update to take effect.
