Pecio CMS 'target' Parameter Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary HTML code in a user's browser session. The vulnerable application is Pecio CMS v2.0.5 and prior. Input passed via the 'target' parameter in 'search' action in index.php is not properly verified before it is returned to the user. This may allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch further attacks. No solution or patch was made available for at least one year since disclosure of this vulnerability
