Description:
A vulnerability was reported in Macromedia ColdFusion. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
The JRun administrative console does not properly filter HTML code from user-supplied input before displaying the input. A remote user can create a specially crafted URL 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 Macromedia JRun 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.
The MX 6.1 Enterprise version is affected when installed with the "J2EE" option and deployed on JRun 4.0.
The MX 7.0 Enterprise Edition version is affected when installed as the "Multi-Server" option.
The ColdFusion MX 6.1 and 7.0 Standard editions are not affected.
