CVE-2008-2462: Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the viewfile documentation command in Caucho Resin before 3.0.2...

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-2462 is a cross-site scripting flaw in Caucho Resin's viewfile documentation command. An attacker could cause a user's browser to run attacker-supplied script or HTML through the file parameter. Business risk is highest where old Resin documentation functions are still reachable by users or the internet. Exposure is likely limited to legacy Caucho Resin deployments running the affected version ranges with the documentation viewfile command accessible. Systems that no longer run Resin, have upgraded beyond the named versions, or do not expose the documentation interface are less likely exposed. Prioritize remediation for any internet-facing legacy Resin deployment. This is not presented as actively exploited in the supplied sources, but browser-executed script can support account compromise or user impersonation if exposed to authenticated users. Mitigation focus: Inventory Caucho Resin versions across internet-facing and internal systems.; Upgrade affected Resin 3.0.x and 3.1.x deployments per vendor guidance.; Restrict access to Resin documentation interfaces where business use is unnecessary..
