Carsten Ziegeler updated SLING-2974:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: Auth Core 1.1.4
> 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
> Assignee: Carsten Ziegeler
> Fix For: Auth Core 1.1.4
>
>
> 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.
