Hi all, I came across a security alert that basically embeds javascript in the display name of the From to initiate cross-site-scripting (XSS) attacks. Here is an example:
From: "<script>alert('hack')</script>""user" <sip:user at domain.com https://lists.grok.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/full-disclosure>;tag=002a000c
Grammatically , I don't see an issue with this. However, under the right circumstances this could get ugly. Do you see value in having openser take a proactive role to detect these and reject calls? Or is this outside the scope of what a proxy should be doing (leave it to the UA to sanitize) ?
I think it should be left to the UA. It would be very difficult to come up with good sanitizing rules, and they would get out of data very quickly. Maybe an openser sanitizer module that would download SIP attack signatures would make sense.
