| Detailed Description |
The Xerver web server is vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities. Xerver is a freely available Java-based Web server developed by Omid Rouhani. Xerver version 4.17 and possibly other versions are vulnerable to multiple vulnerabilities, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to conduct cross-site scripting attacks, and disclose system and sensitive information.
1) The problem is that it is possible to disclose the source code of script files by appending a dot to the filename in a HTTP request.
2) The problem is that the content of a directory can be disclosed even when there is an index file by appending a null character (%00) to the path in a HTTP request.
3) By creating a specially crafted URL containing a null character (%00) followed by malicious code, an attacker can perform cross-site scripting attacks. This can further be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
