Title: RETIRED: BosDev BosNews Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
BosDev BosNews is a web-based news-management application implemented in ASP.
The application is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
These issues affect unspecified fields related to posting news.
Input will be stored persistently on the affected site and may be rendered by a victim user when the page is viewed.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
UPDATE (November 13, 2007): This BID is being retired. The vendor refutes these claims, stating that HTML code is stripped with the exception of certain parameters that will accept HTML only if the user has administrator privileges. Please see the references for more information.
