Published: 4th September 04, 2017
Severity: Low
CVSS Score: 2.4 (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)
AFFECTED PRODUCTS¶
- WSO2 Business Rules Server 2.2.0

OVERVIEW¶
A potential Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability has been identified in the Management Console.
DESCRIPTION¶
This vulnerability is discovered in the Add User Store page in the Management Console. However, exploiting the vulnerability remotely is not possible as the malicious script should be injected into a textbox after accessing the web page in the user's browser where the script would run as a result of a javascript event bound to the text box.
IMPACT¶
By leveraging an XSS attack, an attacker can make the browser get redirected to a malicious website, make changes in the UI of the web page, retrieve information from the browser or harm otherwise.
However, since all the session related sensitive cookies are set with httpOnly flag and protected, session hijacking or similar attack would not be possible.
