Auto Directory Index Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

It has been reported that Auto Directory Index is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data through the 'dir' parameter, which will then be included in a dynamically generated web page. 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.

Mitigation:

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