Vulnerability Description

NetMRI contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) issue whereby portions of the GET request are echoed
back in an error page. This allows scripting tags to be executed by the browser to perform XSS
attacks. Such an attack would require convincing a user to click on a specially crafted link.

Solution Description

On February 18, 2009, Netcordia released a patch named "CrossScriptPatch.gpg" to address this
vulnerability in all currently supported versions of NetMRI through v3.0.1. Customers can acquire
the patch through the normal mechanisms or contact Netcordia Technical Support
([email protected]) for assistance. Additionally, the necessary changes will be incorporated in
future versions beginning with NetMRI v3.0.2.
