phpGroupWare index.php Addressbook XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 14292

Synopsis

A remote web application is vulnerable to multiple cross-site scripting attacks.

Description

The remote host seems to be running PhpGroupWare, a multi-user groupware suite written in PHP.

This version is reportedly prone to multiple HTML injection vulnerabilities. The issues present themselves due to a lack of sufficient input validation performed on form fields used by PHPGroupWare modules.

A malicious attacker may inject arbitrary HTML and script code using these form fields that may be incorporated into dynamically-generated web content.

Solution

Update to version 0.9.14.005 or newer.
