Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

It was discovered that there was a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in phpldapadmin, a web-based interface for administering LDAP servers.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.2-5.2+deb8u1.
