Chris Fairhall commented on ISIS-884:
-------------------------------------
We would prefer the quickest option. I assume that would be a 1.6.1 bug fix
release?
That should give us the lowest risk as we can start the upgrade process to
1.6.0 now and there should be very few changes between 1.6.0 and 1.6.1
> ErrorPage vulnerable to XSS attacks.

> Key: ISIS-884
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ISIS-884
> Project: Isis
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Viewer: Wicket
> Affects Versions: viewer-wicket-1.6.0
> Reporter: Dan Haywood
> Assignee: Dan Haywood
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: viewer-wicket-1.7.0
>
>
> The default error page
> (org.apache.isis.viewer.wicket.ui.pages.error.ErrorPage) is vulnerable to XSS
> via org.apache.isis.viewer.wicket.ui.errors.ExceptionStackTracePanel
> In the constructor of ExceptionStackTracePanel, it adds a Label with the
> exception message and calls setEscapeModelStrings(false)
> This means any URL that a URL be constructed to reference an entity with
> Javascript inserted where the OID should be and an exception is thrown with
> the Javascript code inserted in to the message.
> This is then written to the page un-escaped to be executed in the users
> session.
> It is made worse by the bookmarkable feature (I think that's what does this),
> where an attacker can navigate to a crafted URL on a user's PC, if they don't
> close all of their browser windows before the session times out, when they
> log in they will be redirected to the crafted URL.
