Adobe Flex SDK Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Adobe Flex SDK is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to express-install template files. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary script code in the context of a web application built using the SDK. This may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate template files. Additionally, the application should be configured to use the latest version of the Flex SDK.
