Atlassian Confluence < 4.3.7 Multiple Vulnerabilities
medium Nessus Plugin ID 71213

Synopsis
The remote web application is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
According to its self-reported version number, the instance of Atlassian Confluence on the remote host is a version prior to 4.3.7.It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities :
- A clickjacking vulnerability exists due to the lack of iframe busting prevention. An attacker may exploit this to perform a limited amount of actions on the user's behalf.
- The application does not properly check user uploaded files. By uploading a flash file, a remote attacker can place the file in a user-accessible path. A subsequent direct request to the file could allow the attacker to execute a script with the privileges of the web server.
- A cross-site scripting flaw exists because the application does not properly check uploaded file attachments to a wiki page. By uploading a specially crafted file, an attacker could execute arbitrary script within the browser / server trust relationship.
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 4.3.7 or later, or apply the appropriate vendor patch.See Also
