Description

Security Auditor's Research Assistant (SARA) contains a flaw that allows a remote Cross Site Scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate service banner content during scanning. This could allow a user to send a specially crafted banner that would execute arbitrary code on the server leading to a loss of integrity.

Classification

Unknown or Incomplete

Solution

Upgrade to version 5.0.0 or higher, as it has been reported to fix this vulnerability. An upgrade is required as there are no known workarounds.
