HTTP: Novell QuickFinder Server Cross Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability in Novell QuickFinder Server. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Extended Description
Novell QuickFinder Server is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
