GForge multiple scripts cross-site scripting
| gforge-multiple-xss (21558) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
GForge is vulnerable to cross-site scripting caused by improper validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker could create a specially-crafted URL to multiple parameters in a URL request to the forum.php, task.php, detail.php, search/.php, and qrs.php scripts, including fields within the login form which, once the URL is clicked, would be executed in the victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting site. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
