Cross-site scripting via unencoded P3P parameter
Published Jan 18, 2023 · Updated Apr 3, 2025
Reflected XSS in affected Skyhigh Secure Web Gateway 10.x, 11.x, and 12.x releases allows remote attackers to inject scripts via crafted URLs. The Single Sign-On plugin's SetLoginToken action copies the p parameter into the P3P response header without encoding carriage returns or line feeds, enabling injected headers and a replacement response body. A victim must browse through the gateway and open a crafted URL or follow a redirect; injected JavaScript then executes in the chosen site's origin, enabling access to that site's browser-visible data and actions.
