HTTP: Symantec IM Manager Multiple Cross Site Scripting
This signature detects attempts to exploit a cross-site scripting vulnerability in Symantec IM Manager. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. Attackers can steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Extended Description
Symantec IM Manager is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. 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.
