__________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Due to incorrect input handling Squid cachemgr.cgi tool is
vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting attacks.
__________________________________________________________________

This allows a malicious server to embed URLs in its content such
that user credentials and other information can be extracted from
a client or administrator with access to the Squid cachemgr.cgi
tool URL.
__________________________________________________________________

This bug is fixed by Squid version 4.8.
In addition, patches addressing this problem for the stable

to the package vendor for availability information on updated
packages.
__________________________________________________________________
Determining if your version is vulnerable:
Squid proxy is not vulnerable. The problem is isolated to the
manager CGI interface tool.
cachemgr.cgi tool displays its version number in the HTML page
footer:
All 2.x versions up to and including 2.7.STABLE9 are vulnerable.
All 3.x versions up to and including 3.5.28 are vulnerable.
All 4.x versions up to and including 4.7 are vulnerable.
If your cachemgr.cgi does not display a version it is likely
to be one of the older vulnerable versions.
__________________________________________________________________
Workarounds:
Either;
Remove use of the cachemgr.cgi tool. It is only necessary for
older proxy management. Modern Squid proxies management reports
can be accessed directly.
Or,
Add CORS protection to the web server running the CGI tool such
that remote requests to the cachemgr.cgi tool cannot use
query-string parameters.
