medium Nessus Plugin ID 33220

Language:

Synopsis

The remote web server contains HTML documents that are affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The remote host contains one or more HTML documents associated with Adobe Flex 3's History Management Feature and affected by a DOM-based cross-site scripting vulnerability. Due to its failure to sanitize user input, an attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site, possibly by using JavaScript code flow manipulation techniques.

Solution

Replace the affected file(s) with an instance of 'historyFrame.html' from the Flex 3.0.2 update as discussed in the vendor advisory above.
