===============
1) Introduction
===============

thttpd is a free "Open Source" webserver that comes by default with unix
systems such as
FREEBSD and Linux. freesco edited thttpd and published their own
version.

======
2) Bug
======

Upon reffering to http://<host>/<anyfile>.html the html
contains the local path of the server on the machine.

The Vulnerabillity is Cross Site Scripting. If an attacker will request
the
following
url from the server http://<host>/<script>alert('XSS')</script>
The vulnerabillity exists in the servers default cgi example.
XSS appears and the server allows an attacker to inject & execute
scripts.

In the words of securityfocus.com :
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If all of these circumstances are met, an attacker may be able to
exploit
this issue
via a malicious link containing arbitrary HTML and script code as part
of
the hostname.
When the malicious link is clicked by an unsuspecting user, the
attacker-supplied HTML
and script code will be executed by their web client. This will occur
because the server
will echo back the malicious hostname supplied in the client's request,
without sufficiently
escaping HTML and script code.

Attacks of this nature may make it possible for attackers to manipulate
web
content or to
steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to
take
arbitrary actions as the victim user.
