JAWS Glossary Gadget Multiple XSS

medium Nessus Plugin ID 19394

Language:

Synopsis

A remote web application is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

Description

The remote host is running JAWS, a content management system written in PHP.
The remote version of this software does not perform a proper validation of user-supplied input to several variables used in the 'GlossaryModel.php' script, and is, therefore, vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to JAWS 0.5.2 or later.
