Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in IBM WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.0 through 6.1.0.6 CF27, 6.1.5.0 through 6.1.5.3 CF27, 7.0.0 through 7.0.0.2 CF28, and 8.0.0 before 8.0.0.1 CF12 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL.

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal installed on the remote host is 7.0.0.x prior to 7.0.0.2 CF29. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A remote code execution vulnerability exists in the     Apache Struts ClassLoader. A remote attacker can exploit     this issue by manipulating the 'class' parameter of an     ActionForm object to execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-0114)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists which allows     a remote, authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary     web script or HTML. (CVE-2014-0910)

  - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists     that allows a remote attacker to crash the host by     sending a specially crafted web request to cause a     consumption of resources. (CVE-2014-0949)

  - A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in the     'boot_config.jsp' script due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this issue     to execute arbitrary script code in the security context     of a user's browser to steal authentication cookies.
    (CVE-2014-0952)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     due to improper validation of user-supplied input.
    (CVE-2014-0953)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Web     Content Viewer portlet due to improper handling of JSP     includes. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to     obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service,     or control the request dispatcher by sending a specially     crafted URL request. (CVE-2014-0954)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An     attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary     script code in the security context of a user's web     browser to steal authentication cookies. (CVE-2014-0956)

  - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists     that allows an authenticated attacker to cause a     successful login to loop back to the login page     indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0959)

  - An unspecified information disclosure vulnerability     exists which allows a remote attacker to gain access to     sensitive information. (CVE-2014-3083)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability     exists due to improper validation of user-supplied     input. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute     arbitrary script code in the security context of a     user's browser. (CVE-2014-3102)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists due to     the returned error codes which an attacker can use to     identify devices behind a firewall. (CVE-2014-4746)

  - An unspecified open redirect vulnerability exists that     allows an attacker to perform a phishing attack by     enticing a user to click on a malicious URL.
    (CVE-2014-4760)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists which     allows a remote, authenticated attacker to gain access     to sensitive information, such as user credentials,     through certain HTML pages. (CVE-2014-4761)

  - An unrestricted file upload vulnerability exists which     allows a remote, authenticated attacker to upload large     files, potentially resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2014-4792)

  - An unspecified vulnerability exists that allows an     authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the     system. (CVE-2014-4808)

  - A flaw exists due to improper recursion detection during     entity expansion. A remote attacker, via a specially     crafted XML document, can cause the system to crash,     resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2014-4814)

  - An information disclosure vulnerability exists that     allows a remote attacker to identify whether or not a     file exists based on the web server error codes.
    (CVE-2014-4821)

  - An unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability exists     that allows a remote, authenticated attacker to execute     arbitrary code via a specially crafted URL.
    (CVE-2014-6093)

  - An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting     vulnerability exists due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this     flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary     script code in a user's web browser within the security     context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker     to steal a user's cookie-based authentication     credentials. (CVE-2014-6215)

  - An unspecified reflected cross-site scripting     vulnerability exists due to improper validation of     user-supplied input. A remote attacker can exploit this     flaw using a specially crafted URL to execute arbitrary     script code in a user's web browser within the security     context of the hosting website. This allows an attacker     to steal a user's cookie-based authentication     credentials. (CVE-2014-8909)

  - An unspecified flaw exists that is trigged when handling     Portal requests. A remote attacker can exploit this to     cause a consumption of CPU resources, resulting in a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2015-1943)

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal on the remote host is affected by an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability due to improper user input validation. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute code in the security context of a user's browser to steal authentication cookies.

The version of IBM WebSphere Portal on the remote host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

  - A denial of service vulnerability exists in the Apache     Commons FileUpload library that allows an attacker to     cause the application to enter an infinite loop.
    (CVE-2014-0050)

  - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists     that allows a remote attacker to crash the host by     sending a specially crafted web request.
    (CVE-2014-0949)

  - A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the     'FilterForm.jsp' script due to improper user input     validation. (CVE-2014-0951)

  - An XSS vulnerability exists in the 'boot_config.jsp'     script due to improper user input validation.
    (CVE-2014-0952)

  - An unspecified XSS vulnerability exists due to improper     validation of user input. (CVE-2014-0953)

  - A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Web     Content Viewer portlet due to improper handling of JSP     includes. A remote attacker can exploit this issue to     obtain sensitive information, cause a denial of service,     or control the request dispatcher by sending a specially     crafted URL request. (CVE-2014-0954)

  - An XSS vulnerability exists in the Social Rendering     feature due to improper validation of user input. Note     that this only affects installs using IBM Connections     with the Social Rendering feature. (CVE-2014-0955)

  - An unspecified XSS vulnerability exists due to improper     validation of user input in a JSP script.
    (CVE-2014-0956)

  - An unspecified open redirect vulnerability exists that     allows an attacker to perform a phishing attack by     enticing a user to click on a malicious URL.
    (CVE-2014-0958)

  - An unspecified denial of service vulnerability exists     that allows an authenticated attacker to cause a     successful login to loop back to the login page     indefinitely. (CVE-2014-0959)

An attacker can exploit the XSS vulnerabilities to execute code in the security context of a user's browser in order to steal authentication cookies.
