Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2015-8349)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in "advSearch" HTTP GET parameter in /index.php script, when the "p" parameter is set to "banlistsuccessful". 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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow a remote attacker to steal potentially sensitive information, change appearance of the web page, perform phishing and drive-by-download attacks.
