ADOdb for PHP contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate unspecified variables upon submission to the adodb-perf.inc.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.

The vendor notes: "The adodb perf files assume that you can execute any sql in the system from the sql form we provide. True that there could be security issues in the perf scripts, but using the perf files already assume (and require) a high level of trust."
