Posted Apr 27, 2011
Authored by Kevin Kotas | Site www3.ca.com

CA Technologies support is alerting customers to multiple security risks with CA Arcot WebFort Versatile Authentication Server. Two vulnerabilities exist that can allow a remote attacker to potentially compromise web user security. The first set of vulnerabilities occur due to insufficient handling of request parameters sent to the Arcot Administrative Console. An attacker, who can convince a user to follow a URL or view a webpage, can potentially conduct cross-site scripting attacks. The second vulnerability occurs due to insufficient filtering of a request parameter sent to the Arcot Administrative Console. An attacker, who can convince a user to follow a URL or view a webpage, can use redirection to potentially carry out additional web based attacks.

Authentication Server

Issued: April 26, 2011

CA Technologies support is alerting customers to multiple security

Administrative Console. An attacker, who can convince a user to
