There is a bug in this solution which makes it vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks. An attacker may use this bug to run arbitrary web code in the context of the web site. Remove .x files located in ./sampledocs folder. You should install or upgrade the software to the latest version. See http://www.thinxoft.com for more details. Change the default directory of the affected suite to make it harder to run pre-defined and automated attacks against the vulnerability. Also limit unwanted connections and communications with firewalling if possible. Approx. 1 hour Yes http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/11071/exploit/ Yes Yes Medium 5 7 7 6 Medium Nessus is able to do the same check. The possibilities of exploiting this kind of vulnerabilities is well-known and well documented. 11071 14647 Hacking Exposed: Network Security Secrets & Solutions, Stuart McClure, Joel Scambray and George Kurtz, February 25, 2003, 4th Edition, McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, ISBN 0072227427 http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/373506
