| Detailed Description |
The Serendipity is vulnerable to cross-site scripting vulnerability in the combat.php script. Serendipity is a Weblog/blog system written in PHP. Serendipity versions 0.7 and earlier are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability, due to a lack of sanity checks on searchTerm parameter in the compat.php script. This vulnerability could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
