Synopsis

The remote web server hosts an application that is prone to a cross- site scripting attack.

Description

The installed version of Ektron CMS400.NET fails to sanitize user- supplied input to the 'info' parameter in the 'workarea/reterror.aspx' script before using it to generate dynamic HTML content.

An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
