DESCRIPTION:
Core Security Technologies has reported multiple vulnerabilities in
ManageEngine ADSelfService Plus, which can be exploited by malicious
people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and bypass certain
security restrictions.

1) An error in the password reset mechanism can be exploited to
bypass the security questions and change an arbitrary user's password
by visiting the accounts/ResetResult page directly.

2) Input passed to the "searchString" parameter in EmployeeSearch.cc
(when "actionId" is set to "showList" or "Search") is not properly
sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to
execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in
context of an affected site.

NOTE: Additionally, a weakness exists in the security question
verification mechanism and can be exploited to reduce the number of
required questions and disable the captcha verification, which may
allow answering a question via a brute force attack.

The vulnerabilities are reported in version 4.4. Other versions may
also be affected.

SOLUTION:
Reportedly fixed in version 4.5 Build 4500. Contact the vendor for
further information.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Ernesto Alvarez, Core Security Technologies.
