FireStats window-add-excluded-ip.php 'edit' parameter XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 47746

Synopsis

The remote web server hosts a web application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of FireStats installed on the remote host fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'edit' parameter of the 'window-add-excluded-ip.php' script.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser.

Note that this version of FireStats is likely affected by cross-site scripting issues in multiple other scripts; however, Nessus has not tested for these.

Solution

Upgrade to version 1.6.6 or later.
