Fortinet FortiWeb 5.x < 5.1.0 XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 73530

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running FortiWeb 5.x prior to 5.1.0. It is, therefore, affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the web UI due to a failure to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'filter' parameter in the '/user/ldap_user/add' script. An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the end-user's browser.

Solution

Upgrade to Fortinet FortiWeb 5.1.0 or later.
