|---|---|
| 15673 | info2www Argument XSS info2www contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate arguments upon submission to the info2www script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of confidentiality. |
