During the meeting of Committee for authorizing the disclosure of unresolved vulnerabilities held on November 24, 2015, it was judged that an advisory for this vulnerability shall be disclosed since all the criteria and conditions described below which are stated in Standards for Handling Software Vulnerability Information and Others (Directive #110, 2014) and Information Security Early Warning Partnership Guideline have been satisfied.
- The developer of the product is unreachable
JPCERT/CC had tried to reach the developer for a period of time (more than 9 months) however there were no responses from the developer. Therefore the committee reached the conclusion that it is reasonable and appropriate to judge the developer is unreachable.
- No response to 6 separate emails (sent from February 14, 2012 to June 11, 2012)
- No response to disclosure of the developer's name (listed on March 15, 2013) and product name and its version (listed on June 21, 2013) in "List of unreachable developers" page on JVN
- No response to Announcement of screening procedure for vulnerability disclosure (sent on October 26, 2015) - Existence of vulnerability has been verified
It was verified that the product contains a cross-site scripting vulnerability by IPA. Arbitrary script execution on the user’s web browser was confirmed which violates the "Integrity" of the product. For verification details, refer to the "Verification" section. - Not disclosing this case may result in the risk that product users will have no means to know of the existence of the vulnerability in the product
In addition, users are permitted to copy, revise, or distribute the product. Therefore, the developer cannot directly contact all users of this product to notify of the cross-site scripting vulnerability. It was determined that disclosure of this vulnerability is legitimate under these conditions. - There are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate
After considering the developer's stance and the risk to product users, the committee has judged that there are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate or that disclosure may cause any other issues.
