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

1) Input passed via the "username" parameter to login.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.

2) Input passed via the "username" parameter to
security-audit-viewer.jsp, via the "username", "name", and "email"
parameters to user-create.jsp, via the "username" and "nickname"
(when the "jid" and "username" parameters are set to a non-NULL value
and the "add" parameter is set)  parameters to user-roster-add.jsp,
via the "username" parameter to user-roster.jsp, via the "username"
parameter to user-lockout.jsp, via the "name" and "description"
parameters (when "create" is set) to group-create.jsp, via the
"group" parameter to group-edit.jsp, via the "group" parameter to
group-delete.jsp, and via the "roomJID" parameter to
muc-room-delete.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) Input passed via the "criteria" parameter to
plugins/search/advance-user-search.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.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability #3 requires that the
"Search" plugin is installed.

4) Input passed via the "urlName", "url", and "groups" parameters
(when "type" is set to "url" and "createURLBookmark" is set to
"Create") to plugins/clientcontrol/create-bookmark.jsp, and via the
"optionalMessage" parameter to plugins/clientcontrol/spark-form.jsp
(when "submit" is set to a non-NULL value) 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.

Successful exploitation of vulnerability #4 requires that the "Client
Control" plugin is installed.

5) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP
requests without making proper validity checks to verify the
requests. This can be exploited to e.g. add an administrative user to
the application by tricking an administrator into visiting a malicious
web site while being logged-in to the application.

NOTE: This can further be exploited to conduct script insertion
attacks.

The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 3.6.4. Other versions
may also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Vulnerability #1 has been fixed in version 3.7.0 beta. Do not browse
untrusted web sites while being logged-in to the application. Filter
malicious characters and character sequences via a proxy.
