Vulnerability Scan Summary
Checks for url parameter cross-site scripting vulnerability in Gossamer Links
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains a CGI script that is susceptible to a
cross-site scripting attack.
Description :
The remote host is running Gossamer Links, a web links management tool
from Gossamer Threads and written in Perl.

By leveraging this flaw, a possible hacker may be able to cause arbitrary
HTML and script code to be executed by a user's browser within the
context of the affected application, leading to cookie theft and
similar attacks.
