Details

It was discovered that BackupPC did not properly sanitize its input when
processing RestoreFile error messages, resulting in a cross-site
scripting (XSS) vulnerability. With cross-site scripting vulnerabilities,
if a user were tricked into viewing server output during a crafted server
request, a remote attacker could exploit this to modify the contents, or
steal confidential data, within the same domain.
