Eclipse BIRT __report cross-site scripting
| eclipse-report-xss (53773) |  Medium Risk |
Description:
Eclipse BIRT is vulnerable to cross-site scripting, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input by the report viewer. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability using the __report parameter to inject malicious script into a Web page which would be executed in a victim's Web browser within the security context of the hosting Web site, once the page is viewed. An attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
Note: KonaKart uses BIRT and is also vulnerable.
