Discussion

Openfire Multiple Input Validation Vulnerabilities

Openfire is prone to multiple input-validation vulnerabilities:

- An SQL-injection issue.
- Multiple cross-site scripting issues.
- An authentication-bypass issue.

A successful exploit of these issues may allow an attacker to gain unauthorized access to the affected application, compromise the application, access or modify data, exploit vulnerabilities in the underlying database, execute arbitrary script code within the context of the browser, and steal cookie-based authentication credentials. Other attacks are also possible.

Openfire 3.6.0a is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
