Vulnerability Note VU#514386

Groove Mobile Workspace vulnerable to script injection via SharePoint replicated menus

Overview

A vulnerability in the way that Groove Mobile Workspace handles SharePoint lists may allow an attacker to execute an arbitrary script.

I. Description

Groove Virtual Office provides a collaborative working environment that includes shared documents, databases, and applications among other tools. Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services for Windows Server 2003 and SharePoint Team Services are used to create collaborative Web sites. A SharePoint list is a collection of information and objects displayed on a SharePoint site.

SharePoint lists that contain drop-down menus may not be properly scanned for malicious content when it is copied into the Groove Mobile Workspace. As a result, an attacker may be able to inject scripting code into the drop-down list, which may then be executed within the Groove environment.
