Description
When browsing to the datanode at /browseDirectory.jsp, if a path with HTML characters is requested, the resulting error page echos back the input unquoted.
Example:
http://localhost:50075/browseDirectory.jsp?dir=/<xss>&go=go&namenodeInfoPort=50070&nnaddr=localhost%3A9000
Writes an input element as part of the response:
<input name="dir" type="text" width="50" id"dir" value="/<xss>">
- The value of the "value" attribute is not quoted.
- An = must follow the "id" attribute name.
- Element "input" should have a closing tag.
The output should be something like:
<input name="dir" type="text" width="50" id="dir" value="/<xss>"/>
In addition, if one creates a directory:
hdfs dfs -put '/some/path/to/<xss>'
Then browsing to the parent of directory '<xss>' prints unquoted HTML in the directory names.
