Description Katrin Fischer 2015-01-22 12:18:41 UTC
One of our libraries asked a company for penetration tests of their web applications. In Koha they identified a problem in the authority search:

To test:
- Use an installation with a number of authorities, so that you can have a search result page that has paging on top
- Activate OpacAuthorities
- 'mouseover' the paging on top or at the bottom of the page, an alert window shows.

.../cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl?and_or=and&marclist=match&op=do_search&operator=contains&orderby=HeadingAsc%22%20onmouseover%3dprompt%28%27name%27%29%20bad%3d%22&type=opac&value=test

I could reproduce the problem in 3.12.9 and 3.18.2.
Comment 1 Katrin Fischer 2015-01-22 13:08:19 UTC
Without the mouseover:
/cgi-bin/koha/opac-authorities-home.pl?and_or=and&marclist=match&op=do_search&operator=contains&orderby=HeadingAsc2"><script>prompt(987898)</script>

I haven't done more tests yet, but I think for the earlier versions that still include the prog theme we need to fix the file there as well (problem was found in a 3.12). Will try to write one tonight, but happy if someone can provide one earlier.

Bug 13609: Cross Site Scripting problem in authority search result list paging

To test:
- Use an installation a reasonable amount of authorities, so that you can
  have a search result list with more than one page
- Activate OpacAuthorities
- Create an OPAC link like shown below, verify that an alert is shown
- Apply patch
- Refresh the page and no alert should appear
- Verify the paging still works correctly for 'numbers' and 'arrows'
