What is CVE-2016-4316?

Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities exist in WSO2 Carbon 4.4.5, enabling remote attackers to inject arbitrary web scripts or HTML. The vulnerable parameters include 'setName' in identity-mgt/challenges-mgt.jsp, 'webappType' and 'httpPort' in webapp-list/webapp_info.jsp, 'dsName' and 'description' in ndatasource/newdatasource.jsp, 'phase' in viewflows/handlers.jsp, and 'url' in ndatasource/validateconnection-ajaxprocessor.jsp. Successful exploitation could allow attackers to manipulate the web application's behavior, potentially leading to cookie theft and session hijacking.

Exploit Proof of Concept (PoC)

PoC code is written by security researchers to demonstrate the vulnerability can be exploited. PoC code is also a key component for weaponization which could lead to ransomware.
