Microsoft IIS 5.0 Form_JScript.asp XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 10572

Synopsis

The remote web server is hosting an ASP script that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The script /iissamples/sdk/asp/interaction/Form_JScript.asp (of Form_VBScript.asp) allows you to insert information into a form field and once submitted re-displays the page, printing the text you entered. This .asp doesn't perform any input validation. An attacker can exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting victim.

Solution

Remove the sample scripts from the server.
