Description

Newscoop contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'f_email' and 'token' parameters upon submission to the /admin/password_check_token.php script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
