Julian Sedding created SLING-2974: ------------------------------------- Summary: XSS vulnerability in AbstractAuthenticationFormServlet Key: SLING-2974 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-2974 Project: Sling Issue Type: Bug Components: Authentication Affects Versions: Auth Core 1.1.2 Reporter: Julian Sedding
The AbstractAuthenticationFormServlet replaces placeholders in an HTML page with user-provided input without taking care of proper escaping of the input. Hence it is possible to construct an XSS-attack exploiting this servlet. This is made worse by the fact that this servlet doesn't provide an obvious way to disable it. Setting the sling.servlet.path="-" using content based configuration did the trick in my case, however. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
