Vulnerability Details Fixes are available for the following security vulnerabilities in IBM WebSphere Portal: CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4762 DESCRIPTION: IBM WebSphere Portal is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials. CVSS: CVSS Base Score: 3.5 CVSS Temporal Score: See http://xforce.iss.net/xforce/xfdb/94659 for the current score CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined CVSS Vector: (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N) AFFECTED PRODUCTS AND VERSIONS: WebSphere Portal 8.5 WebSphere Portal 8.0 REMEDIATION: The recommended solution is to apply PI21973 as soon as practical. Fix: Apply an Interim Fix or a Cumulative Fix containing PI21973. For 8.5.0 Upgrade to Cumulative Fix 02 (CF02). (Combined Cumulative Fixes for WebSphere Portal 8.5.0.0: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24037786) For 8.0.0 through 8.0.0.1 Upgrade to Fix Pack 8.0.0.1 with Cumulative Fix 13 (CF13) and then apply the Interim Fix PI21973. (Combined Cumulative Fixes for WebSphere Portal 8.0.0.1: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24034497) Additional details and manual fix guide (v8 and v85): The fix is automatically deployed as part of a cumulative fix installation. To install the fix manually run the the ConfigEngine task "apply-wcm-library-update-PI21973" The deployment of this fix automatically modifies the corresponding web content menu component "List of Articles" in base Portal. This component can be found in one of the following web content library. - - For WebSphere Portal 8000: "Web Content Templates" - - For WebSphere Portal 8001: "Web Content Templates 8001" - - For WebSphere Portal 8500: "Web Content Templates 3.0" The update cannot be done automatically in case this menu component was changed, renamed, or moved to another location. If you are uncertain if you have modified this component please review the ConfigTrace.log in the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine/log directory. Open the ConfigTrace.log file and search for all occurrences of "[PI21973]". Verify that you see the following success message. - - For WebSphere Portal 8000: [PI21973]: The update was applied successfully to the web content library "Web Content Templates". - - For WebSphere Portal 8001: [PI21973]: The update was applied successfully to the web content library "Web Content Templates 8001". - - For WebSphere Portal 8500: [PI21973]: The update was applied successfully to the web content library "Web Content Templates 3.0". If the system was migrated from a previous release please verify that you see a success message also for the migrated web content libraries. If you cannot find this success message in the ConfigTrace.log the menu component could not be modified automatically or the fix has already been installed. To manually apply the fix, replace all occurrences of the following text in the mentioned menu component using the Web Content Authoring Portlet. In WebSphere Portal 8001 search for: <span class='vcard X-sametime-resolve'> <a target="" title="" href="javascript:SemTagMenu.a11y(event)" class="fn lotusPerson" onclick="return false;" tabindex="0"> [Property context="autofill" type="content" format="cn" field="creator"] </a> <span style="display: none;" class="uid">[Property context="autofill" type="content" format="dn" field="creator"] </span> </span> In WebSphere Portal 8500 search for: <span class='vcard X-sametime-resolve'> <a title="" target="" href="javascript:SemTagMenu.a11y(event)" class="fn lotusPerson" onclick="return false;" tabindex="0"> [Property context="autofill" type="content" format="cn" field="creator"] </a> <span style="display: none;" class="uid">[Property context="autofill" type="content" format="dn" field="creator"] </span> </span> Replace all occurrences with: [Property context="autofill" type="content" format="cn" awareness="true" field="creator"] In general it is recommended to use the "Property" web content tag together with the "awareness" attribute set to a value of "true" to generate a Person card in your web content. In case the web content library was modified automatically by this fix a backup of the previous content of the web content library was exported into the wp_profile_root/PortalServer/wcm/ilwwcm/system/export directory. To restore the backup unpack the exported file and import the library using the "export-wcm-data" task. For more information please see the topic "Exporting and importing a web content library" in the product documentation. If you have syndicated the web content library to another virtual portal please syndicate the updated library again after the changes have been applied. In case you created copies of the web content library please make sure to also manually apply the fix to these copies. Workaround: None. Mitigation: None.
