w-Agora GET and POST cross-site scripting
| wagora-get-post-xss (17553) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
w-Agora is vulnerable to cross-site scripting. A remote attacker could send a malicious HTTP GET request to the download_thread.php or HTTP POST request to the login.php or forgot_password.php script, which would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site, once the link is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials and other sensitive information.
Platforms Affected:
- Marc Druilhe, w-Agora 4.1.6a
