SysAid Cross-Site Scripting and Script Insertion Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in SysAid, which can be exploited by malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) Input passed to the "listViewName" parameter in CustomizeListView.jsp is not properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
2) Input passed via the "firstName" and "lastName" parameters to Preferences.jsp when editing a user's profile 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.
The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 8.5.05 Enterprise Edition. Other versions may also be affected.
