EUVDB-ID: #VU42892

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2012-6092

CWE-ID: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')

Exploit availability: No

Description

Vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform Cross-site scripting attacks.

An input validation error exists in the web demos in Apache ActiveMQ before 5.8.0 when processing (1) the refresh parameter to PortfolioPublishServlet.java (aka demo/portfolioPublish or Market Data Publisher), or vectors involving (2) debug logs or (3) subscribe messages in webapp/websocket/chat.js. NOTE: AMQ-4124 is covered by CVE-2012-6551. A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in victim's browser in security context of vulnerable website.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
