Signature Detail

HTTP: XOOPS Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

This signature detects attempts to exploit multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in XOOPS. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input in admin.php script. A successful attack can result in the compromise of Web browser cookies associated with the site, and modification of user information.

Extended Description

XOOPS is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. 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 let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. XOOPS 2.5.0 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
