Synopsis
A web security application hosted on the remote web server has a cross-site scripting vulnerability.Description
The remote web server is hosting a version of Symantec Web Gateway that is vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks. Input to the 'l' parameter of timer.php is not properly sanitized. An attacker could exploit this by tricking a user into making a malicious request, resulting in arbitrary script code execution. There are reportedly other cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in this version of the software, though Nessus has not checked for those issues.Solution
