Interspire ActiveKB NX "page" Cross-Site ScriptingFriday, 12 October 2007Vendor: Interspire Pty. Ltd.
Description:
durito has reported a vulnerability in ActiveKB NX, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "page" parameter in categories/[CAT]/index.php (where "[CAT]" is the name of an existing category) is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
The vulnerability is reported in version 2.6. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
