Sun Java System Identity Manager Multiple XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 29926

Synopsis

The remote web server contains an application that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote host is running Sun Java System Identity Manager, a Java application for user provisioning and identity auditing in enterprise environments.

The version of Identity Manager installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to various JSP scripts before using it to generate dynamic content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage these issues to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.

Known to be affected are the 'cntry' and 'lang' parameters of the 'login.jsp' script, the 'resultsForm' parameter of the 'account/findForSelect.jsp' script, the 'activeControl' parameter of the 'user/main.jsp' script, the 'helpUrl' parameter of the 'help/index.jsp' script, and the 'nextPage' parameter of the 'user/login.jsp' script

Solution

Upgrade to one of the versions of Sun Java System Identity Manager listed in the vendor's advisory.
