CVE-2010-0716: SharePoint Server file upload can enable script injection
CVE-2010-0716 · published 16 years ago
Summary
In SharePoint Server versions before 2010, the page used for uploading documents creates web addresses that look the same as the site’s normal pages. Because of this, a signed‑in user can upload a specially crafted text file that runs malicious code in other users’ browsers. Apply the latest SharePoint updates or restrict file‑upload capabilities to prevent this risk.

_layouts/Upload.aspx in the Documents module in Microsoft SharePoint before 2010 uses URLs with the same hostname and port number for a web site's primary files and individual users' uploaded files (aka attachments), which allows remote authenticated users to leverage same-origin relationships and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by uploading TXT files, a related issue to CVE-2008-5026. NOTE: the vendor disputes the significance of this issue, because cross-domain isolation can be implemented when needed.
