Tomcat Documentation XSS Vulnerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
The Tomcat documentation web application includes a sample application
that contains multiple XSS vulnerabilities.
DETAILS
Vulnerable Systems:
* Tomcat versions from 4.0.0 to 4.0.6
* Tomcat versions from 4.1.0 to 4.1.36
* Tomcat versions from 5.0.0 to 5.0.30
* Tomcat versions from 5.5.0 to 5.5.23
* Tomcat versions from 6.0.0 to 6.0.10
Immune Systems:
* Tomcat version 4.0.7
* Tomcat version 4.1.37
* Tomcat version 5.0.31
* Tomcat version 5.5.24
* Tomcat version 6.0.11
The JSP and Servlet included in the sample application within the Tomcat
documentation webapp did not escape user provided data before including it
in the output. This enabled a XSS attack. These pages have been simplified
not to use any user provided data in the output.
Example:
http://server/tomcat-docs/appdev/sample/web/hello.jsp?test=<script>alert(document.domain)</script>
CVE Information:
<http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name= CVE-2007-1355>
