Horde Application Framework login.php cross-site scripting
| horde-login-xss (33013) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
The Horde Application Framework is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, if language selection boxes are enabled, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the login.php script. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the new_lang parameter in a specially-crafted URL to execute script in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the URL is clicked. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
