Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-2597-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'velocity-tools' package(s) announced via the DLA-2597-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'velocity-tools' package(s) announced via the DLA-2597-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: It was discovered that there was a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in velocity-tools, a collection of useful tools for the 'Velocity' template engine. The default error page could be exploited to steal session cookies, perform requests in the name of the victim, used for phishing attacks and many other similar attacks. CVE-2020-13959 The default error page for VelocityView in Apache Velocity Tools prior to 3.1 reflects back the vm file that was entered as part of the URL. An attacker can set an XSS payload file as this vm file in the URL which results in this payload being executed. XSS vulnerabilities allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the attacked website and the attacked user. This can be abused to steal session cookies, perform requests in the name of the victim or for phishing attacks. For Debian 9 Stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0-6+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your velocity-tools packages.
