HTTP: SharePoint Server 2010 Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability in Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010. A Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in SharePoint Server 2010 where Javascript is encoded in a malicious URL that is echoed back to the user in the resulting page. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could inject a client-side script in the user's browser, resulting in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user's browser session.
Extended Description
Microsoft SharePoint is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to perform unauthorized actions such as reading, modifying, or deleting content on the SharePoint site on behalf of the victim.
