low Nessus Plugin ID 71565

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Chris Chapman discovered cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Horizon via the Volumes and Network Topology pages. An authenticated attacker could exploit these to conduct stored cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against users viewing these pages in order to modify the contents or steal confidential data within the same domain.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected python-django-horizon package.
