Synopsis

The remote web server is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack.

Description

According to its version, the remote installation of Chora fails to fully sanitize user-supplied input when setting the parent frame's page title by JavaScript in 'templates/common-footer.inc'. By leveraging this flaw, an attacker may be able to inject arbitrary HTML and script code into a user's browser to be executed in the context of the affected website, thereby resulting in the theft of session cookies and similar attacks.

Solution

Upgrade to Chora 1.2.3 or later.
