Advisory ID: HTB23256 Product: SearchBlox Vendor: SearchBlox Software, Inc. Vulnerable Version(s): 8.2 and probably prior Tested Version: 8.2 Advisory Publication: April 22, 2015 [without technical details] Vendor Notification: April 22, 2015 Vendor Patch: May 26, 2015 Public Disclosure: June 17, 2015 Vulnerability Type: Cross-Site Scripting [CWE-79] CVE Reference: CVE-2015-3422 Risk Level: Low CVSSv2 Base Score: 2.6 (AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N) Solution Status: Fixed by Vendor Discovered and Provided: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab ( https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/ ) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Advisory Details: High-Tech Bridge Security Research Lab discovered XSS vulnerability in SearchBlox, which can be exploited to perform Cross-Site Scripting attacks against the vulnerable web application administrators. Input passed via the "menu2" HTTP GET parameter to "/searchblox/admin/main.jsp" script is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. A remote attacker can trick a logged-in administrator to open a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and scripting code in his browser in context of the vulnerable website. A simple XSS exploit below uses the "alert()" JS function to display a box with "ImmuniWeb" word: http://[host]/searchblox/admin/main.jsp?menu1=adm&menu2=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert%28%27ImmuniWeb%27%29;%3C/script%3E ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Solution: Update to SearchBlox 8.2.1 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [1] High-Tech Bridge Advisory HTB23256 - https://www.htbridge.com/advisory/HTB23256 - Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in SearchBlox.
