Axis Two Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Gjoko Krstic has discovered two vulnerabilities in Axis, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks.
1) Input passed via the "data" POST parameter to admin/core/site/batch-save is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires 'site' role permission.
2) Input passed via the "answer[][]" and "description[]" POST parameters to admin/poll/save is not properly sanitised before being used. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires 'poll' role permission.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 0.8.7.2. Other versions may also be affected.
