Description

Xoops contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate URL parameter variables upon submission to the /modules/mylinks/myheader.php module. This could be exploited by including arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser session, which will be executed when viewed.
