medium Nessus Plugin ID 26927
Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The remote host is running GForge, a web-based project for collaborative software development.The version of GForge installed on the remote host fails to sanitize user-supplied input to the 'confirm_hash' parameter of the 'account/verify.php' script before using it to generate dynamic output. An unauthenticated, remote attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML or script code into a user's browser to be executed within the security context of the affected site.
This version may have several other vulnerabilities related to SQL injection and cross-site scripting, especially if the remote host is running a Debian build of GForge. Nessus has not checked for these issues.
Solution
Apply the appropriate vendor patch.See Also
