| Detailed Description |
The PSNews software has a 'No' Parameter Cross-site Scripting Vulnerability.
PSNews is a freely available Content Management System (CMS) for Microsoft Windows operating systems. PSNews version 1.1 is vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerability, caused by a failure of the application to properly validate user-supplied input in certain parameters. A remote attacker could create a specially crafted URL link to the 'index.php' script containing malicious script code in 'no' parameter, and then could persuade a target user to click it. Once the URL is clicked, the embedded codes would be executed in the victim's Web browser. A remote attacker could use this vulnerability to steal the victim's cookie-based authentication credentials.
