Title: Aestiva HTML/OS Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Aestiva HTML/OS is a database engine and development suite for building websites and web-based software products.

HTML/OS does not sufficiently sanitize metacharacters from error message output. In particular, attackers may inject HTML error pages. It is possible to cause the server to generate an error page by appending script code to the end of a URL ending with a '/' character. The resulting error page will echo back the request without filtering any metacharacter data. Arbitrary HTML and script code will be executed by the web client of the user visiting the server, in the security context of the server.

Affected Products:

  • Aestiva HTML/OS 2.4.0
