medium Nessus Plugin ID 16171

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote host is running Siteman, a web-based content management system written in PHP.

The remote version of this software is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack due to a lack of sanitization of user-supplied data to the 'page' parameter of the 'forum.php' script. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow an attacker to use the remote server to perform an attack against a third-party user.
