Product Information  
===============  
Product: php-font-lib  
Description: A library to read, parse, export and make subsets of different types of font files.  
Developer: Fabien Ménager  
Website: https://github.com/PhenX/php-font-lib  
  
Overview  
=======  
The Subset maker of the affected php-font-lib versions is vulnerable to a Reflected Cross-site Scripting. This vulnerability might allow remote unauthenticated attackers to inject arbitrary Javascript or HTML via the ‘name’ parameter. This flaw exists because the contents of ‘name’ are not sanitized before it is inserted in the web page.  
  
Vulnerability Information  
==================  
Vulnerability: Reflected Cross-site Scripting  
CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-2570  
CVSSv2 Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)  
CWE Identifier: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')  
Affected releases: 0.3  
  
Vulnerability details  
==============  
The make_subset.php script in the ‘www’ directory does not sanitize the contents of the ‘name’ parameter before echoing it to the user. The vulnerable piece of code is shown below:  
  
<h1><?php echo $name ?></h1>  
  
This vulnerability can be used to inject Javascript code to be rendered by the browser. An attacker must trick the user to access a crafted URL (using social engineering, e.g.) for a successful attack.
