Xinha Multiple HTML-Injection Vulnerabilities

Xinha is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Attacker-supplied HTML or JavaScript code could run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and 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 or JavaScript code.
