VAR-201509-0147
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2023-12-18 12:06Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in PHP scripts in the management console on Symantec Web Gateway (SWG) appliances with software before 5.2.2 DB 5.0.0.1277 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, as demonstrated an attack against admin_messages.php. Authentication is required to exploit this vulnerability, however it can be bypassed via reflected cross-site scripting.The specific flaw exists within the admin_messages.php file which relies on mimetypes and file extensions to block potentially dangerous file uploads. An attacker can exploit this condition to upload arbitrary files as the apache user. Due to loose sudo restrictions, an attacker can add the setuid attribute and execute arbitrary code under the context of root. Symantec Web Gateway is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. The software provides web content filtering, data loss prevention, and more
