Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server hosts a PHP application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The MySQL Eventum install hosted on the remote web server is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'email' parameter of the 'index.php' script before using it to generate dynamic HTML output.With a specially crafted URL, an attacker can use the remote server to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
Note that this install is also likely to be affected by several other similar cross-site scripting vulnerabilities, although Nessus has not checked for them.
Solution
Upgrade to MySQL Eventum 1.4 or later.See Also
