Mort Bay Jetty Dump Servlet (webapps/test/jsp/dump.jsp) XSS
medium Nessus Plugin ID 29219
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a JSP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The remote instance of Mort Bay Jetty includes a test servlet, 'webapps/test/jsp/dump.jsp', that fails to sanitize user-supplied input before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.Similar issues reportedly exist with the 'webapps/snoop.jsp'' servlet as well as Jetty itself, although Nessus did not check for them.
Solution
Remove the Test webapp if operating in a production environment and upgrade to Mort Bay Jetty 6.1.6 or later.See Also
