Summary
The Malware Analysis Appliance (MAA) is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS) and information disclosure vulnerabilities in search.php. An attacker can use these vulnerabilities to attack the client machine (via XSS), and to obtain MAA user names, sample names, and user generated data about the samples.
Cross-site scripting vulnerabilities are present in search.php and other URLs. An attacker can use cross-site scripting to execute arbitrary javascript on the client machine as the user. The javascript could be used to send commands to MAA, or to install malware or keystroke loggers on the client machine.
Information can be obtained by a non-authenticated user using search.php. An attacker could obtain the names of MAA users that have uploaded samples, the sample file names of any files that have been submitted to MAA, and user generated data about the samples that have been uploaded. An attacker cannot modify information or obtain full administrative access.
