This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Microsoft Content Management Server. Versions 2001 SP1 through 2002 SP2 are vulnerable. A successful attack can lead to disclosure of information.
Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) is prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials, spoof content, or perform actions on behalf of the victim user; this could aid in further attacks.
