DESCRIPTION:
Vulnerability Research Laboratory has reported multiple
vulnerabilities in Hyperic HQ Enterprise, which can be exploited by
malicious users to conduct script insertion attacks and by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting and cross-site request forgery
attacks.

1) Input passed via the "escId" parameter to admin/config/Config.do
(when "mode" is set to "escalate") is not properly sanitised before
being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute
arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context
of an affected site.

2) Certain unspecified input sent from the Hyperic Agent is not
properly sanitised in the roles listing under administration, the HQ
Health view under administration, the monitor view for a specific
host, the applications view under resources, and the general
properties view for the logged in user before being displayed to the
user. This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code,
which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an
affected site when the malicious data is being viewed.

3) The application's web interface allows users to perform certain
actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to
verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change an
administrator's password by tricking a logged in administrator into
visiting a malicious web site.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.5.1. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences using a proxy. Do
not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while logged
in to the application.
