PHP Football Version : 1.0 Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input in 'news.mainnews.php' and 'filter.php' scripts. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a browser in the context of the vulnerable website. This can allow the attacker to create a specially crafted request that will execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server. This may help the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to dynamically generate web content. It is also recommended to use a web application firewall to help protect against this type of attack.
