Description:
Several vulnerabilities were reported in Websense. A remote user can execute commands on the target system. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks. A remote user can access the target system.
A remote user can cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the target user's browser. The code will originate from the site running the Websense interface 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.
A remote user can execute commands with System privileges.
A remote user can bypass authentication.
Version 7.6 of Websense Web Security Gateway Anywhere, Websense Web Security Gateway, Websense Web Security, and Websense Web Filter is affected prior to Hotfix 24.
Ben Williams of NGS Secure reported these vulnerabilities.
