Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Plone versions prior to 3.0.4

Description A cross-site scripting issue exists due to insufficient input validation in the LiveSearch module. This allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the Description field for search results. For example, an attacker could use the onerror Javascript event in an IMG tag to execute malicious code.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.4, update to version 3.0.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the LiveSearch module until the update is applied. Avoid using the Description field for search results in the LiveSearch module until the issue is resolved.
