TELNET: HTML Script Tags Embedded in Telnet Stream
This signature detects attempts at cross-site scripting attacks in a telnet stream. Some implementation of telnet protocol does not properly check for input sanitization and may allow html script tags in a user request. Successful attack may lead to script code execution and loss of sensitive information.
