Packeteer Products File Listing XSS

Product:

Packeteer PolicyCenter

The web management interface of several Packeteer products contains a cross-site scripting
vulnerability in the file listing function. Parameter FILELIST, specified in an arbitrary page
request, is not sufficiently sanitized before it gets embedded in the HTML output of the Error
Report page. (The parameter value is limited to 64 characters.)

Example:
https://(target)/whatever.htm?FILELIST=%3C/script%3E%3Cbody+onLoad=alert(%26quot%3BXSS%26quot%3B)%3E%3Cscript%3E

The vulnerability has been identified in version 8.2.2. However, other versions may be also
affected.

Solution:
Do not stay logged into the Packeteer web management interface while browsing other web sites.
