Advisory: Microsoft Security Bulletin

Version(s): 2.0

Description: A vulnerability was reported in ASP.NET. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Several scripts do not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can create
a specially crafted HTTP request that, when loaded by a target user, will cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target
user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the ASP.NET software and will run in the security context of that
site. As a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated
with the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as
the target user.
ASP.NET controls that set the AutoPostBack property to "true" are affected.
Microsoft .NET 1.0 and 1.1 are
not affected.
Microsoft credits Jaswinder Hayre with reporting this vulnerability.
