---------------------------------
Key: JCR-2709
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-2709
Project: Jackrabbit Content Repository
Issue Type: Bug
Components: jackrabbit-webapp
Affects Versions: 2.1.1
Reporter: Jukka Zitting
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 2.2.0
As reported by Canberk Bolat of ADEO Security in a private communication, there
search.jsp script in jackrabbit-webapp is missing an escape when it injects the
path of a "related:" query into the constructed XPath statement. Further
analysis showed that this issue has no security implications, so we can treat
this as a normal bug report.
search.jsp
...
String q = request.getParameter("q");
...
if (q != null && q.length() > 0) {
String stmt;
if (q.startsWith("related:")) {
String path = q.substring("related:".length());
stmt = "//element(*, nt:file)[rep:similar(jcr:content,
'" + path + "/jcr:content')]/rep:excerpt(.) order by @jcr:score
descending";
queryTerms = "similar to <b>" +
Text.encodeIllegalXMLCharacters(path) + "</b>";
}
