Description

AChecker contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'id' parameter upon submission to the user/user_create_edit.php script. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. Additionally, the program may disclose the software's installation path. While such information is relatively low risk, it is often useful in carrying out additional, more focused attacks.
