Claroline multiple scripts cross-site scripting
| claroline-multiplescripts-xss (43854) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Claroline is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the rqmkhtml.php, announcements.php, agenda.php, index.php, document.php, exercise.php, group_space.php, newtopic.php, reply.php, viewtopic.php, wiki.php, and work.php scripts. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using 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.
