BigTree-CMS 4.1.x < 4.1.9 XSS

medium Nessus Network Monitor Plugin ID 9553

Synopsis

The version of BigTree-CMS running on the remote server is affected by a XSS vulnerability.

Description

The version of BigTree-CMS installed on the remote host is 4.1.x prior to 4.1.9 and is affected by a vulnerability that allows a stored XSS attack. This flaw exists because the user creation process does not validate input supplied as username and company name before returning it to users. This may allow a remote, authenticated attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.

Solution

Upgrade to BigTree-CMS version 4.1.9 or later.
