P4DB URL allows cross-site scripting
| p4db-url-xss (16070) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
P4DB is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper filtering of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could embed malicious script in a specially-crafted URL, which would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site, once the link is clicked by the victim. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials, obtain other sensitive information or perform actions as the victim.
