Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
Quest NetVault Backup viewclient Cross-Site Scripting Authentication Bypass Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to bypass authentication on affected installations of Quest NetVault Backup. User interaction is required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file. The specific flaw exists within the viewclient webpage. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of user-supplied data, which can lead to the injection of an arbitrary script. An attacker can leverage this in conjunction with other vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-28202.

"value": "Vulnerabilidad de cross-site scripting con omisión de autenticación en Quest NetVault Backup viewclient. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes remotos omitir la autenticación en instalaciones afectadas de Quest NetVault Backup. Se requiere interacción del usuario para explotar esta vulnerabilidad, ya que el objetivo debe visitar una página maliciosa o abrir un archivo malicioso.\n\nLa falla específica existe dentro de la página web de viewclient. El problema se debe a la falta de validación adecuada de los datos proporcionados por el usuario, lo que puede llevar a la inyección de un script arbitrario. Un atacante puede aprovechar esto en conjunto con otras vulnerabilidades para ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de SYSTEM. Fue ZDI-CAN-28202."
