Description

DCP-Portal contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'bid', 'replying_msg', 'subject', 'body', and 'mid' variables upon submission to the forums.php script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity.

Classification

Location: Remote / Network Access
Attack Type: Input Manipulation
Impact: Loss of Integrity
Exploit: Exploit Public
OSVDB: Web Related
