IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale 8.6.1.0 < 8.6.1.6 (7278745)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 324627

Synopsis

The remote web application server is affected by multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of IBM WebSphere eXtreme Scale installed on the remote host is prior to 8.6.1.6 IBM. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the 7278745 advisory.

 - jQuery UI is a curated set of user interface interactions, effects, widgets, and themes built on top of jQuery. Versions prior to 1.13.2 are potentially vulnerable to cross-site scripting. Initializing a checkboxradio widget on an input enclosed within a label makes that parent label contents considered as the input label. Calling `.checkboxradio( refresh )` on such a widget and the initial HTML contained encoded HTML entities will make them erroneously get decoded. This can lead to potentially executing JavaScript code. The bug has been patched in jQuery UI 1.13.2. To remediate the issue, someone who can change the initial HTML can wrap all the non-input contents of the `label` in a `span`. (CVE-2022-31160)

 - jQuery-UI is the official jQuery user interface library. Prior to version 1.13.0, accepting the value of the `of` option of the `.position()` util from untrusted sources may execute untrusted code. The issue is fixed in jQuery UI 1.13.0. Any string value passed to the `of` option is now treated as a CSS selector. A workaround is to not accept the value of the `of` option from untrusted sources. (CVE-2021-41184)

 - In jQuery versions greater than or equal to 1.0.3 and before 3.5.0, passing HTML containing <option> elements from untrusted sources - even after sanitizing it - to one of jQuery's DOM manipulation methods (i.e. .html(), .append(), and others) may execute untrusted code. This problem is patched in jQuery 3.5.0.
 (CVE-2020-11023)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
