Discussion

Blue Coat Reporter License HTML Injection Vulnerability

Blue Coat Reporter is prone to an HTML injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be executed in the context of the affected Web site, potentially allowing for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker could also exploit this issue to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

The vendor has addressed this issue in the upcoming version 7.1.2 of the application; earlier versions are reported vulnerable.
