MantisBT nusoap/nusoap.php NuSOAP WSDL XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 49792

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The installation of MantisBT on the remote host includes a version of NuSOAP that fails to sanitize user input passed via PHP's $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] variable to 'nusoap/nusoap.php' via 'soap/mantisconnect.php' before using it to generate dynamic HTML content.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Although Nessus has not checked for them, the installed version is also likely to be affected by several other cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Solution

Upgrade to MantisBT 1.2.3 or later.
