There are 68 instances of this issue:

Issue background

Reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities arise when data is copied from a request and echoed into the application's immediate response in an unsafe way. An attacker can use the vulnerability to construct a request which, if issued by another application user, will cause JavaScript code supplied by the attacker to execute within the user's browser in the context of that user's session with the application.

The attacker-supplied code can perform a wide variety of actions, such as stealing the victim's session token or login credentials, performing arbitrary actions on the victim's behalf, and logging their keystrokes.

Users can be induced to issue the attacker's crafted request in various ways. For example, the attacker can send a victim a link containing a malicious URL in an email or instant message. They can submit the link to popular web sites that allow content authoring, for example in blog comments. And they can create an innocuous looking web site which causes anyone viewing it to make arbitrary cross-domain requests to the vulnerable application (using either the GET or the POST method).

The security impact of cross-site scripting vulnerabilities is dependent upon the nature of the vulnerable application, the kinds of data and functionality which it contains, and the other applications which belong to the same domain and organisation. If the application is used only to display non-sensitive public content, with no authentication or access control functionality, then a cross-site scripting flaw may be considered low risk. However, if the same application resides on a domain which can access cookies for other more security-critical applications, then the vulnerability could be used to attack those other applications, and so may be considered high risk. Similarly, if the organisation which owns the application is a likely target for phishing attacks, then the vulnerability could be leveraged to lend credibility to such attacks, by injecting Trojan functionality into the vulnerable application, and exploiting users' trust in the organisation in order to capture credentials for other applications which it owns. In many kinds of application, such as those providing online banking functionality, cross-site scripting should always be considered high risk.

Remediation background

In most situations where user-controllable data is copied into application responses, cross-site scripting attacks can be prevented using two layers of defenses:In cases where the application's functionality allows users to author content using a restricted subset of HTML tags and attributes (for example, blog comments which allow limited formatting and linking), it is necessary to parse the supplied HTML to validate that it does not use any dangerous syntax; this is a non-trivial task.

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 1 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 6c487"%3balert(1)//001bc3b6472 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 1. This input was echoed as 6c487";alert(1)//001bc3b6472 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 1 is copied into the value of an HTML tag attribute which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload ba9f3"><script>alert(1)</script>2ae6c40c144 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 1. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 2 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 6faae"%3balert(1)//4cf314e0707 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 2. This input was echoed as 6faae";alert(1)//4cf314e0707 in the application's response.

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /dmr/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/css/nggallery.css

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 6 is copied into the value of an HTML tag attribute which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload b88e4"><script>alert(1)</script>22ba7e59903 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 6. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /dmr/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/shutter/shutter-reloaded.css

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 6 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload fe488"%3balert(1)//e8899a6b1a0 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 6. This input was echoed as fe488";alert(1)//e8899a6b1a0 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/analytics/analytics.js

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into the value of an HTML tag attribute which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload f46db"><script>alert(1)</script>aaf1763d564 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 26ebf"%3balert(1)//51a8e2b270f was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed as 26ebf";alert(1)//51a8e2b270f in the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

1.30. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/odygel/lib/core/core.js [REST URL parameter 4]  previous  next

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/core/core.js

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 3f3e6"%3balert(1)//82f576de807 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed as 3f3e6";alert(1)//82f576de807 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

The value of REST URL parameter 5 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload eb405"%3balert(1)//c46445ec921 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 5. This input was echoed as eb405";alert(1)//c46445ec921 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/remoting/remoting.js

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into the value of an HTML tag attribute which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 97cd6"><script>alert(1)</script>598fd489c24 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed unmodified in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 4b534"%3balert(1)//0aefd2809ac was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed as 4b534";alert(1)//0aefd2809ac in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

1.58. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/odygel/lib/widgets/modal/modal.js [REST URL parameter 5]  previous  next

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/widgets/modal/modal.js

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 5 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload 7d97b"%3balert(1)//77842b225b7 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 5. This input was echoed as 7d97b";alert(1)//77842b225b7 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

1.65. http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com/odygel/lib/widgets/widget.js [REST URL parameter 4]  previous  next

Summary

Severity:   High
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/widgets/widget.js

Issue detail

The value of REST URL parameter 4 is copied into a JavaScript string which is encapsulated in double quotation marks. The payload cb65e"%3balert(1)//ce415a006c1 was submitted in the REST URL parameter 4. This input was echoed as cb65e";alert(1)//ce415a006c1 in the application's response.

This proof-of-concept attack demonstrates that it is possible to inject arbitrary JavaScript into the application's response.

Remediation detail

Echoing user-controllable data within a script context is inherently dangerous and can make XSS attacks difficult to prevent. If at all possible, the application should avoid echoing user data within this context.

2. Cleartext submission of password  previous  next
There are 2 instances of this issue:

Issue background

Passwords submitted over an unencrypted connection are vulnerable to capture by an attacker who is suitably positioned on the network. This includes any malicious party located on the user's own network, within their ISP, within the ISP used by the application, and within the application's hosting infrastructure. Even if switched networks are employed at some of these locations, techniques exist to circumvent this defense and monitor the traffic passing through switches.

Issue remediation

The application should use transport-level encryption (SSL or TLS) to protect all sensitive communications passing between the client and the server. Communications that should be protected include the login mechanism and related functionality, and any functions where sensitive data can be accessed or privileged actions can be performed. These areas of the application should employ their own session handling mechanism, and the session tokens used should never be transmitted over unencrypted communications. If HTTP cookies are used for transmitting session tokens, then the secure flag should be set to prevent transmission over clear-text HTTP.

3. Password field submitted using GET method  previous  next
There are 2 instances of this issue:

Issue background

The application uses the GET method to submit passwords, which are transmitted within the query string of the requested URL. Sensitive information within URLs may be logged in various locations, including the user's browser, the web server, and any forward or reverse proxy servers between the two endpoints. URLs may also be displayed on-screen, bookmarked or emailed around by users. They may be disclosed to third parties via the Referer header when any off-site links are followed. Placing passords into the URL increases the risk that they will be captured by an attacker.

Issue remediation

All forms submitting passwords should use the POST method. To achieve this, you should specify the method attribute of the FORM tag as method="POST". It may also be necessary to modify the corresponding server-side form handler to ensure that submitted passwords are properly retrieved from the message body, rather than the URL.

4. Password field with autocomplete enabled  previous  next
There are 2 instances of this issue:

Issue background

Most browsers have a facility to remember user credentials that are entered into HTML forms. This function can be configured by the user and also by applications which employ user credentials. If the function is enabled, then credentials entered by the user are stored on their local computer and retrieved by the browser on future visits to the same application.

The stored credentials can be captured by an attacker who gains access to the computer, either locally or through some remote compromise. Further, methods have existed whereby a malicious web site can retrieve the stored credentials for other applications, by exploiting browser vulnerabilities or through application-level cross-domain attacks.

Issue remediation

To prevent browsers from storing credentials entered into HTML forms, you should include the attribute autocomplete="off" within the FORM tag (to protect all form fields) or within the relevant INPUT tags (to protect specific individual fields).

5. Cross-domain Referer leakage  previous  next

Summary

Severity:   Information
Confidence:   Certain
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /dmr/wp-content/plugins/dmr-tweets/jquery.tweet.js

Issue detail

The page was loaded from a URL containing a query string:The response contains the following links to other domains:

Issue background

When a web browser makes a request for a resource, it typically adds an HTTP header, called the "Referer" header, indicating the URL of the resource from which the request originated. This occurs in numerous situations, for example when a web page loads an image or script, or when a user clicks on a link or submits a form.

If the resource being requested resides on a different domain, then the Referer header is still generally included in the cross-domain request. If the originating URL contains any sensitive information within its query string, such as a session token, then this information will be transmitted to the other domain. If the other domain is not fully trusted by the application, then this may lead to a security compromise.

You should review the contents of the information being transmitted to other domains, and also determine whether those domains are fully trusted by the originating application.

Today's browsers may withhold the Referer header in some situations (for example, when loading a non-HTTPS resource from a page that was loaded over HTTPS, or when a Refresh directive is issued), but this behaviour should not be relied upon to protect the originating URL from disclosure.

Note also that if users can author content within the application then an attacker may be able to inject links referring to a domain they control in order to capture data from URLs used within the application.

Issue remediation

The application should never transmit any sensitive information within the URL query string. In addition to being leaked in the Referer header, such information may be logged in various locations and may be visible on-screen to untrusted parties.

6. Cross-domain script include  previous  next
There are 2 instances of this issue:

Issue background

When an application includes a script from an external domain, this script is executed by the browser within the security context of the invoking application. The script can therefore do anything that the application's own scripts can do, such as accessing application data and performing actions within the context of the current user.

If you include a script from an external domain, then you are trusting that domain with the data and functionality of your application, and you are trusting the domain's own security to prevent an attacker from modifying the script to perform malicious actions within your application.

Issue remediation

Scripts should not be included from untrusted domains. If you have a requirement which a third-party script appears to fulfil, then you should ideally copy the contents of that script onto your own domain and include it from there. If that is not possible (e.g. for licensing reasons) then you should consider reimplementing the script's functionality within your own code.

7. Email addresses disclosed  previous  next
There are 2 instances of this issue:

Issue background

The presence of email addresses within application responses does not necessarily constitute a security vulnerability. Email addresses may appear intentionally within contact information, and many applications (such as web mail) include arbitrary third-party email addresses within their core content.

However, email addresses of developers and other individuals (whether appearing on-screen or hidden within page source) may disclose information that is useful to an attacker; for example, they may represent usernames that can be used at the application's login, and they may be used in social engineering attacks against the organisation's personnel. Unnecessary or excessive disclosure of email addresses may also lead to an increase in the volume of spam email received.

Issue remediation

You should review the email addresses being disclosed by the application, and consider removing any that are unnecessary, or replacing personal addresses with anonymous mailbox addresses (such as helpdesk@example.com).

8. Content type incorrectly stated  previous

Summary

Severity:   Information
Confidence:   Firm
Host:   http://blogs.desmoinesregister.com
Path:   /odygel/lib/legacy/GDN/UAWidgets/LoggedOut.js

Issue detail

The response contains the following Content-type statement:The response states that it contains script. However, it actually appears to contain HTML.

Issue background

If a web response specifies an incorrect content type, then browsers may process the response in unexpected ways. If the specified content type is a renderable text-based format, then the browser will usually attempt to parse and render the response in that format. If the specified type is an image format, then the browser will usually detect the anomaly and will analyse the actual content and attempt to determine its MIME type. Either case can lead to unexpected results, and if the content contains any user-controllable data may lead to cross-site scripting or other client-side vulnerabilities.

In most cases, the presence of an incorrect content type statement does not constitute a security flaw, particularly if the response contains static content. You should review the contents of the response and the context in which it appears to determine whether any vulnerability exists.

Issue remediation

For every response containing a message body, the application should include a single Content-type header which correctly and unambiguously states the MIME type of the content in the response body.
