CVE-2006-5036: MySource Matrix 3.8 and earlier, and MySource 2.x, allow remote attackers to use the application as an HTTP...

Security readout for executives and security teams

Older MySource Matrix/MySource deployments may let outsiders make the web application fetch arbitrary sites using the server's IP address. This can expose the organization to proxy abuse and cross-site scripting risk. The vendor reportedly disputed that this was a vulnerability, so patch status is unclear from the provided sources. Exposure is most likely limited to legacy, internet-reachable MySource Matrix 3.8 or earlier, or MySource 2.x installations where untrusted users can reach functionality using sq_remote_page_url. Treat this as a legacy exposure cleanup item unless the application is internet-facing or business-critical. Prioritize inventory and containment because the record lacks a clear vendor fix and involves potential proxy abuse from company infrastructure. Mitigation focus: Identify any remaining MySource Matrix or MySource 2.x deployments.; Check Squiz or product-maintainer guidance for supported remediation.; Restrict public access to affected legacy applications where business permits..
