Vulnerability found: 30th January 2010

Vendor informed: 1st February 2010

Vulnerability fixed:

Severity: Medium

Description:

Axis2 is a web services/SOAP/WDSL engine, widely used within many
commercial products Procheckup has found it used within SAP Business
Objects 12 and 3com's IMC network management tool.

http://ws.apache.org/axis2/

The following demonstrate the XSS flaw:

Authenticated XSS normally login as admin and axis2

http://target-domain.foo:8080/imcws/axis2-admin/axis2-admin/axis2-web/axis2-admin/axis2-admin/engagingglobally?submit=%2bEngage%2b&modules=<script>alert(1)</script>

Note: The above path will change depending on how axis2 has been installed.

Comfirmed vulnerable versions

An attacker may be able to cause execution of malicious scripting code
in the browser of a user who clicks on a link to a Axis 2 website. Such
code would run within the security context of the target domain. This
type of attack can result in non-persistent defacement of the target
site, or the redirection of confidential information (i.e.: session IDs)
to unauthorised third parties.
