Id Description
40229 ht://Dig (htdig) htsearch sort Parameter XSS

ht://Dig contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'sort' variable upon submission to the htsearch 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 integrity.
