phpGroupWare index.php Calendar Date XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 16138

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP application that is affected by several cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of PhpGroupWare on the remote host is reportedly affected by HTML injection vulnerabilities that present themselves due to a lack of sufficient input validation performed on form fields used by PhpGroupWare modules.

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

Solution

Update to version 0.9.16 RC3 or later.
