Cross site scripting vulnerability in Python via list_directory function

ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:17189Date: (C)2014-03-21   (M)2023-03-24
Class: VULNERABILITYFamily: windows




The host is installed with Python before 2.5.6c1, 2.6.x before 2.6.7 rc2, and 2.7.x before 2.7.2 and is prone to cross site scripting vulnerability. The flaw is present in the list_directory function in Lib/SimpleHTTPServer.py in SimpleHTTPServer, which does not place a charset parameter in the Content-Type HTTP header. Successful exploitation makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against Internet Explorer 7 via UTF-7 encoding.
