Title: Sambar Server Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Severity: HIGH
Description:
Sambar Server is a multi-threaded web server which will run on Microsoft Windows 9x/ME/NT/2000 operating systems.
Sambar Server does not adequately filter some HTML code thus making it prone to cross-site scripting attacks. It is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a legitimate user.
An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating URI parameters several pages, included in the Sambar installation, to include malicious HTML code. Any attacker-supplied code will be executed within the context of the website running Sambar Server.
This vulnerability affects several files that exist in the '/sysuser/docmgr/', '/syshelp/cscript/', '/syshelp/', '/netutils/', '/isapi/', '/cgi-bin/', '/samples/' and '/wwwping' directories.
This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of the website running the vulnerable software. The attacker may hijack the session of the legitimate by using cookie-based authentication credentials.
This vulnerability was reported for Sambar Server 5.3b4 and earlier.
Affected Products:
- Sambar Server 5.1.0
- Sambar Server 5.2.0
- Sambar Server 5.2.0b
- Sambar Server 5.3.0b4
