| Detailed Description |
The XOOPS weblinks module is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the viewtopic.php script. XOOPS weblinks is a module for XOOPS, which is a dynamic object oriented based open source portal system written in PHP. The weblinks module of XOOPS versions 2.0 through 2.0.5.2 is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability, caused by improper validation of user-supplied input in the viewtopic.php script in /modules/newbb/ directory. 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.
