Python SimpleHTTPServer is vulnerable to cross-site scripting (XSS). The list_directory function in Lib/SimpleHTTPServer.py does not set a charset parameter in the Content-Type HTTP header, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary Javascript through UTF-7 encoding into Internet Explorer 7 browser via a malicious file name that is uploaded to the server.
