Description

Magento contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the email parameter upon submission to the app/code/core/Mage/Adminhtml/controllers/IndexController.php script from a request to the admin/index/forgotpassword/ page. 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.
