Description

Analysis Console for Intrusion Databases (ACID) contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] variable upon submission to the PrintFreshPage() function. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

Classification

Solution

The vendor has discontinued this product and therefore has no patch or upgrade that mitigates this problem. It is recommended that an alternate software package Basic Analysis and Security Engine (BASE) be used in its place.

Yeah, ACID is dead anyway. There should be used BASE instead as recommended.
