Books Module Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Books is a module written for PostNuke. Reportedly, Books is prone to cross site scripting attacks. An attacker may exploit this vulnerability by enticing a victim user to follow a malicious link containing HTML and script code. The attacker-supplied HTML and script code may be executed on a web client in the context of the site hosting the vulnerable module. Attackers may potentially exploit this issue to manipulate web content or to steal cookie-based authentication credentials. It may be possible to take arbitrary actions as the victim user.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized before being used in web applications. Additionally, applications should be designed to use a least-privilege model, and should not rely on client-side authentication mechanisms.
