CWE-79  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 mono to version 2.4.4~svn151842-3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mono package and not the mono package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The default configuration of ASP.NET in Mono before 2.6.4 has a value of FALSE for the EnableViewStateMac property, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks, as demonstrated by the __VIEWSTATE parameter to 2.0/menu/menu1.aspx in the XSP sample project.
