Synopsis

YUI 3.5.0-PR1 < 3.5.1 Cross-site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, YUI is at least 3.5.0-PR1 and prior to 3.5.1. Therefore, it may be affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability involving the ARIA live region and text results.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to YUI version 3.5.1 or later.
