Plone 4.3 < 5.2.7 Reflected XSS and Open Redirect (HF 20220128)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 329029

Synopsis

The remote host is affected by a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) and open redirect vulnerability.

Description

The version of Plone installed on the remote host is 4.3 prior to 5.2.7. It is, therefore, affected by a reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) and open redirect vulnerability exists in 'Products.ATContentTypes'. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can get a compromised version of the image_view_fullscreen page in a cache. The technique is known as cache poisoning. Any later visitor can get redirected when clicking on a link on this page.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number. Since a vendor hotfix (PloneHotfix20220128) may remediate this without a version upgrade, this plugin only reports when running in Paranoid mode.

Solution

Apply the vendor hotfix (Products.PloneHotfix20220128), or upgrade to Plone 5.2.7 or later.
