Summary:
   Open Computer and Software Inventory Next Generation (OCS inventory NG) is free software that enables users to inventory IT assets. (Source: Wikipedia)
   OCS Reports for OCS Inventory is a web application to manage the OCS Inventory Server and Clients. 
   The web application is prone to reflected Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) attacks.

Effect:
   An attacker is able to execute arbitrary (javascript) code within a victims' browser by luring a victim to click on a link containing malicious code 

Vulnerable Scripts:
   1) anonymous: USERID and Password field of login page are vulnerable
   2) logged in user: index.php: arbitrary supplied URL parameters will get included within a javascript block. 
   3) logged in user: index.php: parameter "prov" will get included within a hidden page form field

Examples:
   1) Enter the following payload into login form: " onload="alert(42);
   2) http://<ip>/index.php?function=visu_search&prov=allsoft&value=somesoftware%&rk28e'-alert(1)-'js9gz=1
   3) http://<ip>/index.php?function=visu_search&prov=allsoftfrsk4'accesskey%3d'x'onclick%3d'alert(1)'%2f%2fqqy1d&value=<name_of_software>
