Security Advisory WSO2-2020-0707
Published: 13th May 2020
Severity: Medium
CVSS Score: 5.4 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N)
AFFECTED PRODUCTS
WSO2 IS as Key Manager : 5.9.0 or earlier
WSO2 Identity Server : 5.9.0 or earlier
OVERVIEW
A potential Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Management Console.
DESCRIPTION
Policy Administration user interface is found to be vulnerable to a potential Reflected XSS attack.
IMPACT
By leveraging an XSS attack, an attacker can make the browser get redirected to a malicious website, make changes in the UI of the web page, retrieve information from the browser or harm otherwise. However, since all the session related sensitive cookies are set with httpOnly flag and protected, session hijacking or similar attacks would not be possible.
SOLUTION
If you are using an affected product version, it is highly recommended to migrate to the latest released version to receive security fixes.
You may also apply the relevant fixes based on the changes from the public fix: https://github.com/wso2/carbon-identity-framework/pull/2738
Note: If you are a WSO2 customer with Support Subscription, please use WSO2 Update Manager (WUM) updates in order to apply the fix.
