Cross Site Scripting in IIS
The HTTP Error Page created by IIS may, under some circumstances, contain HTML content which includes unsanitized user supplied input. An attacker may construct a link to a vulnerable server such that it exploits this vulnerability. When an innocent user follows this link, the script code will be reproduced by the server, and execute within the context of the vulnerable site. This may result in the exposure of sensitive data and cookie information, or allow the attacker to subvert the content and functionality of the site.
Mitigation:
Input validation and output encoding should be used to prevent Cross Site Scripting attacks.
