Description

Mambo Open Source 4.5 contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the "return" and ""mos_change_template" 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.
