Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in lib/QueryRender.php in phpLDAPadmin 1.2.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the base parameter in a query_engine action to cmd.php.

The version of phpLDAPadmin on the remote host fails to properly sanitize the base parameter of 'lib/QueryRender.php' script before using it to generate dynamic HTML.

By tricking someone into clicking on a specially crafted link, an attacker may be able exploit this to inject arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
