CVE-2013-5658

Vulnerability

AultWare pwStore version 2010.8.30.0 contains a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. The issue arises from insufficient sanitization of user-controlled input, potentially allowing injection of arbitrary HTML or JavaScript code. The vulnerable component is not specified in the available references [1].

Exploitation

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting malicious input that, when processed by the application, executes script in the context of another user's browser. The exact delivery mechanism (e.g., stored or reflected XSS) is not detailed, but user interaction or redirection to a crafted URL may be required [1].

Impact

Successful exploitation enables an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser within the security context of the pwStore application. This can lead to session hijacking, credential theft, defacement, or redirection to malicious sites. The impact is limited to the client side, but sensitive data within the application may be exposed [1].

Mitigation

As of the publication date of the reference [1], no official patch or mitigation was disclosed for AultWare pwStore 2010.8.30.0. Users should consider upgrading to a later version if available, or restrict access to the application as a workaround. The vendor's status regarding this vulnerability is unknown.
