Flyspray contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate 'PHPSESSID', 'tasks', 'string', 'type', 'serv', 'due', 'dev', and 'sort2' variables upon submission to the 'index.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.
