Language:
Synopsis
The remote web server contains an ASP.NET application that is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The version of DNN installed on the remote host is affected by a cross-site scripting vulnerability due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'Search' parameter of the 'SearchResults.aspx' script before using it to generate dynamic HTML output. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, by tricking a user into making a maliciously crafted request, to execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session.This plugin checks for a vulnerability that is similar to but different from CVE-2009-4110.
Solution
Upgrade to DNN version 5.3.0 or later.See Also
