SolarView Compact 6.00 - Cross-Site Scripting

What is the "SolarView Compact 6.00 - Cross-Site Scripting?"

The "SolarView Compact 6.00 - Cross-Site Scripting" module is designed to detect a cross-site scripting vulnerability in SolarView Compact 6.00 software. This vulnerability allows attackers to inject malicious scripts into web pages viewed by users, potentially leading to unauthorized access, data theft, or other malicious activities. The severity of this vulnerability is classified as high, indicating the potential for significant harm if exploited.

Impact

A successful exploitation of the cross-site scripting vulnerability in SolarView Compact 6.00 can have serious consequences. Attackers can manipulate the content of web pages, leading to the execution of malicious scripts in the context of unsuspecting users. This can result in the theft of sensitive information, such as login credentials or personal data, and enable further attacks on the affected system or its users.

How the module works?

The "SolarView Compact 6.00 - Cross-Site Scripting" module works by sending a specific HTTP request to the target system. The request is designed to exploit the vulnerability by injecting a malicious script into the SolarView Compact 6.00 software. The module then analyzes the response from the target system and applies matching conditions to determine if the vulnerability is present.

For example, the module may send a GET request to the "/Solar_Image.php" path with a specific parameter that contains a crafted script. The module checks if the response body contains the injected script, if the response headers indicate a "text/html" content type, and if the response status code is 200 (indicating a successful request).

If all the matching conditions are met, the module reports the presence of the cross-site scripting vulnerability in SolarView Compact 6.00, allowing system administrators to take appropriate actions to mitigate the risk.
