Id Description
13520 ht://Dig (htdig) config Parameter XSS

ht://Dig (htdig) contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'config' parameter upon submission to an unspecified 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.
