FtpLocate HTML-injection Vulnerability

FtpLocate is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate HTML output.
