http://secunia.com/advisories/29278/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting, Exposure of sensitive information

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Alkacon OpenCms 7.x
http://secunia.com/product/17850/

DESCRIPTION:
nnposter has discovered some vulnerabilities in Alkacon OpenCms,
which can be exploited by malicious users to disclose potentially
sensitive information and malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the "filePath" parameter in
opencms/system/workplace/admin/workplace/logfileview/logfileViewSettings.jsp
is not properly sanitised before being returned to an administrator.
This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in an
administrator's browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Input passed to the "filePath" parameter in
opencms/system/workplace/admin/workplace/logfileview/logfileViewSettings.jsp
is not properly verified before being used to display files, which can
be exploited to disclose the content of arbitrary files.

Successful exploitation requires valid administrator credentials.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 7.0.4. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Restrict access to trusted users. Do not visit untrusted site while
being logged in.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
