Title: Blue Coat WebFilter ICAP Patience Page Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Blue Coat WebFilter is an application for filtering URIs.
The application is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the ICAP patience page, which is used to notify users that a requested object is being scanned.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the vulnerable application. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
Blue Coat WebFilter 4.2, 5.2, and 5.3 are vulnerable.
Affected Products:
- Blue Coat Systems WebFilter 4.2
- Blue Coat Systems WebFilter 5.2
- Blue Coat Systems WebFilter 5.3
