Opera < 7.54 location Object Crafted URL Arbitrary Local File Access

medium Nessus Plugin ID 14261

Synopsis

The remote host contains a web browser that is affected by multiple flaws.

Description

The version of Opera on the remote host fails to block write access to the 'location' object. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL to overwrite methods within the 'location' object that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of confidentiality and integrity.

Solution

Upgrade to Opera 7.54 or newer.
