Horde Mnemo common-footer.inc Parent Frame Page XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 18134

Synopsis

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a cross- site scripting attack.

Description

According to its version, the remote installation of Mnemo fails to fully sanitize user-supplied input when setting the parent frame's page title by JavaScript in 'templates/common-footer.inc'. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed in the context of the affected website, thereby resulting in the theft of session cookies and similar attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to Mnemo 1.1.4 or later.
