| Detailed Description |
The Serendipity, according to the version number, is vulnerable to a HTTP Response Splitting Attack.
Serendipity is a Weblog/blog system used with PHP. Serendipity versions prior to 0.7-rc1 are vulnerable to a HTTP Response Splitting Attack, caused by improper processing of the requested URI in the 'index.php', 'comments.php', 'exit.php' scripts. By sending a specially-crafted request, a remote attacker could cause the server to return a split response. It would allow the attacker to perform further attacks, such as Web cache poisoning, cross-site scripting, and possibly obtain sensitive information.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the Serendipity on the remote web server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
