Sympoll Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

It has been reported that Sympoll is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data through the 'vo' parameter. The problem may allow a remote attacker to execute HTML or script code in the browser of a user following a malicious link created by an attacker. Successful exploitation of this attack may allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication information that could be used to launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

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