VAR-200412-0184
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 22:19Multiple unknown vulnerabilities in the ActiveX and HTML file browsers in Symantec Clientless VPN Gateway 4400 Series 5.0 have unknown attack vectors and unknown impact. The issues include multiple vulnerabilities related to the ActiveX and HTML file browser, cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the end user interface, and a vulnerability in the end user interface that will allow an unauthorized user to change another user's single signon information. Remote attackers can use this vulnerability to modify other users' authentication information. No detailed vulnerability details are currently available. Cross-site scripting issues have also been reported by end users.
2) Various unspecified input validation errors within the end user UI can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
3) An error within the end user UI can be exploited by malicious users to manipulate other users' signon information (including username and password).
SOLUTION: A hotfix is available: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/products/sym_clientless_vpn/sym_clientless_vpn_5/updates/SCVG5-20040806-00.tgz
PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY: Reported by vendor.

Nomenclature
- Seen: The vulnerability was mentioned, discussed, or observed by the user.
- Confirmed: The vulnerability has been validated from an analyst's perspective.
- Published Proof of Concept: A public proof of concept is available for this vulnerability.
- Exploited: The vulnerability was observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Patched: The vulnerability was observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not exploited: The vulnerability was not observed as exploited by the user who reported the sighting.
- Not confirmed: The user expressed doubt about the validity of the vulnerability.
- Not patched: The vulnerability was not observed as successfully patched by the user who reported the sighting.
Vulnerability timeline
Sightings and recorded dates, grouped by day · UTC
How durations are calculated
Following the VTEM framework (Black Hat USA 2015), time to patch starts when the vendor or a coordinator was informed, total time to patch at discovery, and disclosure to patch at public disclosure; vendor response time runs from the report to its acknowledgement. Time to exploit and time unpatched start at the earliest discovery or report, falling back to public disclosure. Unpatched time ends at the first recorded patch, or the calculation time when no patch is recorded. Exploitation to patch shows the interval between those two events; a published proof of concept is a public exploit, not exploitation.
Each result shows its source dates. A negative interval means the end event came first; when date-only inputs leave the order open, the result says so. Date-only inputs are approximate. The earliest evidence wins: KEV report dates and sightings are labelled as such. Records describing another vulnerability are listed but never calculated from, and a PoC alone does not establish exploitation. Missing patch evidence does not prove that no patch exists. Filters below change the event list only.
