low Nessus Plugin ID 47698

Synopsis

The remote web server is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

According to its banner, the remote host is running a version of Wing FTP Server earlier than 3.5.1.

The web server included with such versions is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability. By sending a specially crafted 'POST' request to the admin web interface, an authenticated, 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

Upgrade to Wing FTP Server 3.5.1 or later.
