PowerPortal Multiple Vulnerabilities

PowerPortal is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities allow remote attackers to create malicious URI links that include hostile HTML and script code. If a user follows the malicious link, the attacker-supplied code executes in the victim's web browser, potentially leading to theft of authentication credentials and other attacks. Additionally, PowerPortal is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability that allows remote attackers to reveal directory listings by exploiting directory traversal sequences in the 'modules.php' script.

Mitigation:

To mitigate the cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and output encoding to sanitize user-supplied data. To mitigate the information disclosure vulnerability, ensure that directory traversal sequences are properly handled and validated in the affected script.

PowerPortal is reported prone to multiple vulnerabilities. The issues result from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. The following specific issues can affect the application:

PowerPortal is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These cross-site scripting issues can permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If a user follows the malicious link, the attacker-supplied code executes in the Web browser of the victim computer. This attack can allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and other attacks.

Additionally, PowerPortal is prone to an information disclosure vulnerability. It is reported that a remote attacker may reveal directory listings, by supplying directory traversal sequences to the 'modules.php' script.

The information disclosure vulnerability may be employed by the attacker in order to reveal potentially sensitive information regarding the layout of the filesystem on the affected computer.
