OpenX Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

OpenX is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an SQL-injection vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these vulnerabilities could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

OpenX 2.8.10 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

OpenX Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

Attackers can use a browser to exploit these issues. To exploit the cross-site scripting issues an attacker must entice an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.

The following example URI is available:

http://www.example.com/www/admin/plugin-index.php?action=info&group=vastInlineBannerTypeHtml&parent=%22%3E%3C script%3Ealert%28document.cookie%29;%3C/script%3E [XSS]
