Many Oracle web server installations have a fcgi-bin/echo script left over from default demo (google for inurl:fcgi-bin/echo). That script seems vulnerable to XSS. (PoC exploit and explanation of impact withheld now.) I asked security@oracle.com and they said that "... this issue has been resolved in an earlier Critical Patch Update." I looked at some recent CPU summaries, but did not notice anything relevant: maybe their reply refers to the old http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/717827 ? Website owners please remove demo software from production servers, e.g. as per Oracle recommendation http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13999/checklist.htm#BABIBCIC Cheers, Paul Paul Szabo psz@maths.usyd.edu.au http://www.maths.usyd.edu.au/u/psz/ School of Mathematics and Statistics University of Sydney Australia
