PeopleSoft PeopleTools JMS Listening Connector Activity Parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 42352

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is prone to a cross-site scripting attack.

Description

The remote web server is running an instance of PeopleSoft PeopleTools that fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Activity' parameter on submission to the JMS Listening Connector Administrator interface before using it to generate dynamic HTML output. An attacker may be able to leverage this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Solution

Upgrade to version 8.49.22 or later.
