*(2) Vulnerability Details:*  
MT.VERNON MEDIA web application has a computer security bug problem. It can  
be exploited by stored HTML Injection attacks. Hypertext Markup Language  
(HTML) injection, also sometimes referred to as virtual defacement, is an  
attack on a user made possible by an injection vulnerability in a web  
application. When an application does not properly handle user supplied  
data, an attacker can supply valid HTML, typically via a parameter value,  
and inject their own content into the page. This attack is typically used  
in conjunction with some form of social engineering, as the attack is  
exploiting a code-based vulnerability and a user's trust.  
  
Several other MT.VERNON MEDIA products 0-day vulnerabilities have been  
found by some other bug hunter researchers before. MT.VERNON MEDIA has  
patched some of them. BugScan is the first community-based scanner,  
experienced five code refactoring. It has redefined the concept of the  
scanner provides sources for the latest info-sec news, tools, and  
advisories. It also publishs suggestions, advisories, solutions details  
related to HTML vulnerabilities.
