phpWebLog Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability Scan
Vulnerability Scan Summary
Searches for the existence of a phpWebLog XSS
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Synopsis :
The remote web server contains PHP scripts that are prone to several
flaws, including possibly arbitrary code execution.
Description :
The remote host is running phpWebLog, a news and content management
system written in PHP.
Due to improper filtering done by 'search.php' a remote attacker can
cause the phpWebLog product to include arbitrary HTML and/or JavaScript.
A possible hacker may use this bug to perform a cross site scripting attack
using the remote host. There are also reportedly two flaws that, if
PHP's 'register_globals' setting is enabled, allow for local file
disclosure and arbitrary code execution.
