medium Nessus Plugin ID 19159

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

Stefan Esser of e-matters discovered that PHP's strip_tags() function would ignore certain characters during parsing of tags, allowing these tags to pass through. Select browsers could then parse these tags, possibly allowing cross-site scripting attacks.
