10 Apr. 2011
Summary
This allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that create new administrative accounts, and possibly have unspecified other impact, via the userRole parameter.
Symantec LiveUpdate Administrator is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected application, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
