Description |
YACS contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'context[path_to_root]' variable upon submission to the 'categories/populate.php' script. 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. |
