TinyBrowser Multiple XSS
medium Nessus Plugin ID 40493
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
TinyBrowser, an open source web file browser, is running on the remote host. TinyBrowser is typically bundled with web applications, such as TinyMCE WYSIWYG content editor or the Joomla! content management system, although it can also be used in its standalone configuration or integrated with other custom web applications.The version of the TinyBrowser component running on the remote host is affected by multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in /tinybrowser/upload.php due to improper sanitization of user-supplied input to the 'goodfiles', 'badfiles' and 'dupfiles' parameters before using it to generate dynamic HTML content. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into the user's browser session.
Note that this version of TinyBrowser may be affected by several other vulnerabilities that allow an unauthenticated user to view, upload, delete, and rename files and folders on the affected host, or to launch cross-site request forgery attacks using the application.
However, Nessus has not checked for these.
Solution
It could not be determined if TinyBrowser is used in a standalone configuration. If used with Joomla! 1.5.12, upgrade to Joomla! version 1.5.13.See Also
