Discussion

ownCloud CVE-2013-2040 Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

ownCloud is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Note: This issue was previously discussed in BID 59875 (ownCloud Multiple Security Vulnerabilities), but has been moved to its own record for better documentation.

ownCloud versions prior to 4.0.15, 4.5.11 and 5.0.6 are vulnerable.
