This signature detects attempts to exploit a known script execution vulnerability in the BitDefender Internet Security software. It is due to insufficient input validation while scanning maliciously crafted archive files. Remote attackers can exploit this by enticing the target users to scan a malicious archive file. If script execution is successful, the behavior of the target depends on the intention of the attacker.
BitDefender Internet Security 2009 is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
