Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP script that is prone to a cross- site scripting attack.Description
According to its version, the remote installation of IMP 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 web site, thereby resulting in the theft of session cookies and similar attacks.Solution
Upgrade to IMP 3.2.8 or later.See Also
