DESCRIPTION:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Symantec Endpoint
Protection Manager, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting and request forgery attacks.

1) Input appended to the URL after /console/apps/sepm 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.

2) Input passed via the "token" parameter to portal/Help.jsp 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.

3) The portal application allows users to perform certain actions via
HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrative user by
tricking a logged in administrator into visiting a malicious web
site.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 11.0.6 Maintenance Patch
2 (11.0.6200.754). Other versions may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 11.0.7000 RU7.
