WANem index-advanced.php XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 62736

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host hosts a version of WANem that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The index-advanced.php script does not properly sanitize user-supplied input. Other scripts on the server may be affected by cross-site scripting attacks as well.

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

There is no known solution. As a workaround, either disable or restrict access to the application.
