US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#305208

Caucho Resin vulnerable to XSS via "file" parameter to "viewfile"

Overview

   The "viewfile" command provided by Caucho Resin contains a cross-site
   scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the "file" parameter.

I. Description

   Caucho Resin is a Java-based application server. The "viewfile"
   command that is provided with the Resin documentation is vulnerable to
   XSS via the "file" parameter.

II. Impact

   A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to execute arbitrary
   script within the context of the Resin web pages.

III. Solution

   Apply an update

   This issue is resolved in Resin 3.0.25 and 3.1.4. Note that the vendor
   does not recommend including the Resin documentation on production web
   servers, which would prevent the vulnerable command from being
   exposed.

Systems Affected

   Vendor                Status     Date Updated
