Synopsis
The remote web application is affected by multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Confluence on the remote host is a 2.x version that is 2.7 or later, or else version 3.x prior to 3.4.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.Errors in the validation of input data to certain macros allow unfiltered data to be returned to a user's browser. The affected macros are: Code, Attachments, Bookmarks, Global Reports, Recently Updated, Pagetree, Create Space Button and Documentation Link.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Upgrade to Confluence version 3.4.6 or later, or apply the appropriate vendor patch.See Also
