| Detailed Description |
The Icecast program, according to its version number, has a 'list.cgi' Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability.
Icecast is an open-source mp3 broadcasting program for Windows and Unix-based operating systems. Some Icecast versions are vulnerable to a cross-site scripting vulnerability in the status display functionality, caused by a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input. A remote attacker could create a malicious URL link to the 'list.cgi' script containing embedded JavaScript in the UserAgent variable and then 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.
* Note: This check solely relied on the version number of the remote Icecast to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
