COMMAND
Macromedia ColdFusion MX Cross site scripting
SYSTEMS AFFECTED
ColdFusion Server version: 6.0.0.46617
PROBLEM
Ory Segal of Sanctum Inc. found :
Macromedia\'s ColdFusion MX comes with a default 404 error page. This
404 error page presents the path of the file requested, and does not
filter it for hazardous characters, which might be used for a cross
site scripting attack. For example, the following request will pop-up a
message containing the current session cookies:
http://CF_MX_SERVER/<script>alert(document.cookie)</script>.cfm
SOLUTION
Patch available from the vendor\'s web site at:
http://www.macromedia.com/v1/handlers/index.cfm?ID=23047
TUCoPS is optimized to look best in Firefox® on a widescreen monitor (1440x900 or better).
