Open Journal Systems Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
14 Jul. 2012
Summary
Open Journal Systems is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Vulnerable Systems:
*Public Knowledge Project Open Journal Systems 2.0
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, 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.
Open Journal Systems 2.2.4 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
UPDATE (June 21, 2011); The vendor refutes this issue stating an attacker requires administrative access to the affected application to exploit. This BID will be updated as more information emerges. .
Vendor Status:
Currently we are not aware of any vendor-supplied patches
