medium Nessus Plugin ID 39591

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by multiple flaws.

Description

IBM Rational ClearQuest CQWeb Server is installed on the remote host. The installed version is affected by multiple cross-site scripting flaws. Specifically, the application fails to sanitize input passed to parameter 'contextid', 'schema', 'userNameVal' and 'username' before using it to generate dynamic HTML 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.

Solution
