Dell OpenManage Server Administrator /help/sm/en/Output/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/index_main.htm topic Parameter DOM-based XSS

Medium

Synopsis

Dell OpenManage Server Administrator contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'topic' parameter upon submission to the /help/sm/en/Output/wwhelp/wwhimpl/js/html/index_main.htm script. This may allow an attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
