ICQ Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability. ICQ is prone to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability due to lack of input validation and output sanitisation of the profile entries. Successful exploitation will allow remote attackers to hijack session IDs of users and leverage the vulnerability to increase the attack vector to the underlying software and operating system of the victim. Affected Software: ICQ version 7.5 and prior
