"The remote host is running a web server that fails to adequately
sanitize request strings of malicious JavaScript. By leveraging this
issue, an attacker may be able to inject arbitrary cookies. Depending
on the structure of the web application, it may be possible to launch
a 'session fixation' attack using this mechanism.
Please note that :
- Nessus did not check if the session fixation attack is
feasible.
- This is not the only vector of session fixation.");
