Sawmill < 7.1.14 Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Checks for cross-site scripting vulnerability in Sawmill < 7.1.14
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server suffers from a cross-site scripting
vulnerability.
Description :
The remote host is running Sawmill, a weblog analysis package.
The version of Sawmill installed on the remote host suffers from a
cross-site scripting flaw because its standalone web server treats an
arbitrary query string appended to a GET request as a configuration
command and fails to sanitize it before using it in an error page. An
unauthenticated attacker may be able to exploit this issue to steal
authentication information of users of the affected application.
