Atlassian FishEye Code Metrics Report Plugin XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 50450

Synopsis

The remote web server has a cross-site scripting vulnerability.

Description

The version of Atlassian FishEye running on the remote host has a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The Code Metrics Report Plugin does not properly sanitize user input.

A remote attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into making a maliciously crafted request, resulting in the execution of arbitrary script code.

This version of FishEye may have an additional cross-site scripting vulnerability, though Nessus did not check for that issue.

Solution

Upgrade to FishEye 2.3.7 / 2.4 or later.
