Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Piwik

Piwik is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Update to Piwik 0.6 or later versions to address this vulnerability. Sanitize user-supplied data to prevent XSS attacks.
