The version of MySQL installed on the remote host is earlier than 5.0.89 / 5.1.42 / 5.4.2 / 5.5.1 / 6.0.14 and thus does not properly encode angle brackets when ‘mysql --html’ option is used. Depending on how the output of the mysql client command is processed, the user may be vulnerable to cross-site scripting attacks.
