A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the XML processing logic of asset discovery. By sending a crafted HTTP POST request to /discoveryServlet/WsDiscoveryServlet, a remote, unauthenticated attacker can create an asset containing malicious JavaScript. When an administrator views this asset, the JavaScript will execute. This can be exploited to perform authenticated application actions on behalf of the administrator user.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
