Discussion

Openfire 'server-properties.jsp' HTML Injection Vulnerability

Openfire is prone to a HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Openfire 3.6.2 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
