SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA14646

VERIFY ADVISORY:
https://secunia.com/advisories/14646/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
AnswerBook2 Documentation Server 1.x
https://secunia.com/product/4812/

DESCRIPTION:
Thomas Liam Romanis has reported two vulnerabilities in AnswerBook2
Documentation Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to
conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

1) Input passed to the search functionality is not properly sanitised
before being returned to users in search results. This can be
exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's
browser session in context of an affected site.

2) Unspecified input displayed using the "View Log Files"
functionality is not properly sanitised before being returned to
users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script
code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in versions 1.4.4 or prior
(for Solaris 7 and 8).

SOLUTION:
The vendor recommends that the AnswerBook2 Documentation Server is
disabled and users instead refer to the Sun documentation at the Sun
Product Documentation web site or on the Solaris Documentation CD.
