Title: Apple Mac OS X Weblog Server Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

Apple Mac OS X provides a Weblog Server to facilitate the publication of weblogs.

The Weblog Server is prone to two cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input from the 'author' and 'comments' body sections.

An attacker may leverage these issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

This issue was originally described in BID 14567 Apple Mac OS X Multiple Vulnerabilities. It is now being assigned its own BID.

Affected Products:

  • Apple Mac OS X 10.4.0
  • Apple Mac OS X 10.4.1
  • Apple Mac OS X 10.4.2
  • Apple Mac OS X Server 10.4.0
  • Apple Mac OS X Server 10.4.1
  • Apple Mac OS X Server 10.4.2
