Vulnerability Note VU#122054
HP ArcSight Connector Appliance XSS vulnerability
Overview
ArcSight Connector Appliance v6.0.0.60023.2, and possibly previous versions,
contains a module which is vulnerable to cross site scripting (XSS).
I. Description
Windows Event Log SmartConnector, a component of ArcSight Connector Appliance
v6.0.0.60023.2 does not sanitize all input fields. As a result, cross site
scripting (XSS) attacks can be conducted. An exportable report from the Windows
Event Log SmartConnector for table parameters contains a drop-down selection
field for "Microsoft OS Version". In some cases, this exported report is
world-writeable with a default name. In the exported file an attacker can
inject javascript code that will be run after the file is imported and the
table parameters section is accessed for editing again.
For example, the following javascript code can be injected into the "Windows
XP" variable of the exported file:
...,"Windows XP<script> alert('XSS')</script>","en_US"
II. Impact
An attacker with access to the ArcSight Connector Appliance can conduct a cross
site scripting attack, which could be used to result in information leakage,
privilege escalation, and/or denial of service.
III. Solution
Apply an Update
ArcSight Connector Appliance version 6.1 addresses this vulnerability.
