Description

Cherokee webserver contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate invalid URLs before they are provided to the user in an error message. 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

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
