Yaws-Wiki 1.88 - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting / HTML Injection Vulnerabilities
---
source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/51276/info
Yaws is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are possible.
Yaws 1.88 is vulnerable; other versions may be affected.
