CRITICAL:
Less critical
IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting
WHERE:
>From remote
SOFTWARE:
cPanel 10.x
http://secunia.com/product/5280/
DESCRIPTION:
Preth00nker has reported some vulnerabilities in cPanel, which can be
exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.
Input passed to the "dir" parameter in dohtaccess.html and to the
"file" parameter in editit.html and showfile.html is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.
Examples:
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/htaccess/dohtaccess.html?dir=[code]
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/files/editit.html?dir=/&file=[code]
http://[host]:2082/frontend/x/files/showfile.html?dir=/&file=[code]
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a web proxy.
