1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-4579)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

A remote attacker can trick the victim to follow a specially crafted link and execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.
