CVE-2004-2528

Vulnerability

A cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in sresult.exe within Webcam Watchdog version 4.0.1a. The cam parameter is not properly sanitized before being reflected back to the user, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary web script or HTML [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious URL containing the cam parameter with embedded script code. No authentication is required; the victim only needs to click the crafted link or visit a page that triggers the request to sresult.exe [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation allows the attacker to execute arbitrary script in the context of the victim's browser, potentially leading to session hijacking, defacement, or theft of sensitive information [1].

Mitigation

No official patch or fixed version has been disclosed in the available references. Users should consider upgrading to a later version if available, or implement input validation and output encoding for the cam parameter as a workaround [1].
