Descriptions

Bugzilla 2.20rc1 through 2.20 and 2.21.1, when using RSS 1.0, allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a title element with HTML encoded sequences such as ">", which are automatically decoded by some RSS readers. NOTE: this issue is not in Bugzilla itself, but rather due to design or documentation inconsistencies within RSS, or implementation vulnerabilities in RSS readers. While this issue normally would not be included in CVE, it is being identified since the Bugzilla developers have addressed it.

Bugzilla 2.20rc1 hasta la versión 2.20 y 2.21.1, cuando utiliza RSS 1.0, permite a atacantes remotos llevar a cabo ataques de XSS a través de un elemento del título con secuencias HTML codificadas tales como ">", que son descodificadas automáticamente por algunos lectores RSS. NOTA: este problema no está en sí mismo en Bugzilla, sino más bien debido a su diseño o inconsistencias de documentación entre RSS, o vulnerabilidades de implementación en lectores RSS. Aunque este problema normalmente no se incluiría en una CVE, está siendo identificada dado que los desarrolladores de Bugzilla se han ocupado de ella.
