TITLE:
Symantec SecurityExpressions Cross-Site Scripting and Script
Insertion
SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36972
VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36972/
DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Symantec
SecurityExpressions, which can be exploited by malicious users to
conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct
cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Unspecified input passed to the SecurityExpressions Audit and
Compliance Server console is not properly sanitised before being
used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of the
console when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires
authentication.
2) Input passed via unspecified parameters to the SecurityExpressions
Audit and Compliance Server 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.
The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.1 and 4.1.1.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 4.1.1 and apply the Hotfix 1 (KB49452).
