NetFile Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
It has been reported that a cross-site scripting vulnerability may exist in NetFile that may allow remote attackers to execute HTML or script code in a user's browser. The issue is reported to occur due to a "404 Not Found" error message returned to the user due to a request for a URL that does not exist. The error message reportedly contains the bad URL which is not properly sanitized therefore allowing an attacker to a construct a malicious link containing HTML or script code that may be rendered in a user's browser. Successful exploitation of this attack may allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication information that could be used to launch further attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized before being used in the application.
