Cross Context Scripting with Sage

The application is prone to an input-validation vulnerability that allows malicious HTML and script code to be injected before it is used in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would execute in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data does not contain malicious HTML or script code.
