Discussion
LiteSpeed Web Server Cross Site Scripting and Request Forgery Vulnerabilities
LiteSpeed Web Server is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the software fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied inputs. The application is also prone to a cross-site request-forgery vulnerability.
An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
The attacker can exploit the cross-site request-forgery issue by tricking a victim into following a specially crafted HTTP request designed to perform some action on the attacker's behalf using a victim's currently active session.
The vulnerabilities affect LiteSpeed Web Server 4.0.12; other versions may also be affected.
