                                                source: http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/8956/info

It has been reported that Sympoll is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data through the 'vo' parameter. The problem may allow a remote attacker to execute HTML or script code in the browser of a user following a malicious link created by an attacker.

Successful exploitation of this attack may allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication information that could be used to launch further attacks.

Sympoll version 1.5 is reported to be prone to this issue, however other versions may be affected as well.
