ISS X-Force Database: apache-modproxyftp-utf7-xss(39615): Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy

Apache HTTP Server mod_proxy_ftp.c UTF-7 cross-site scripting

apache-modproxyftp-utf7-xss (39615)

Medium Risk

Description:

Apache HTTP Server is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user supplied input by mod_proxy_ftp.c. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the UTF-7 charset option to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
