Description

RealOne player contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate JavaScript opened by a SMIL file or other file. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL result in theft of cookie-based authentication credentials, but more seriously, could also cause embedded script code to be executed in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.
