Description

KeePass contains a flaw that allows a remote cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'Category Item Profile Name' field when it is processed in the export as an HTML backup. This may allow a user to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
