PABox 2.0 - Post Icon HTML Injection

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/12796/info

paBox is reportedly affected by a HTML injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

The attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be able to access properties of the site, potentially allowing for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker could also exploit this issue to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

This issue is reported to affect paBox 2.0; earlier versions may also be vulnerable.
