Description

Mambo Site Server contains a flaw that allows a remote attacker to inject arbitrary code. This flaw exists because the application does not validate user-supplied input in the 'Your name' field. This could allow a remote attacker to embed malicious scripts within the 'Your name' field when posting an article 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.
