Id Description
69929 Gitweb index.php Multiple Parameter XSS

Gitweb contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'f' and 'fp' parameters upon submission to the index.php script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
