Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1164)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via "afterURL" HTTP GET parameter to screenshot-redirecter.jsp script. A remote attacker can create a specially crated link, trick the victim into clicking it and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive data.
2) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1164)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed support-related JIRA pages. A remote attacker can create a specially crated link, trick the victim into clicking it and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website.
List of vulnerable pages:
- .../secure/admin/groupnames.jsp
- .../secure/admin/indexbrowser.jsp
- .../secure/admin/debug/classpath-debug.jsp
- .../secure/admin/viewdocument.jsp
- .../secure/admin/cleancommentspam.jsp
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive data.
3) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1164)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via "announcement_preview_banner_st" HTTP parameter to multiple scripts. A remote attacker can create a specially crated link, trick the victim into clicking it and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive data.
4) Stored cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1164)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via HTTP Referrer header to 500page.jsp script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, containing XSS exploit and permanently store arbitrary HTML and script code. The code will be executed in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website every time the victim visits vulnerable interface.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive data.
Note: this vulnerability is being publicly exploited.

A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, containing XSS exploit and permanently store arbitrary HTML and script code. The code will be executed in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website every time the victim visits vulnerable interface.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive data.
6) Stored cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2010-1164)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data passed via "portletKey" HTTP GET parameters to runportleterror.jsp script. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted HTTP request, containing XSS exploit and permanently store arbitrary HTML and script code. The code will be executed in victim’s browser in context of vulnerable website every time the victim visits vulnerable interface.
