Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in Mambo

Mambo is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues 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:

To mitigate this vulnerability, users should ensure that they are running the latest version of Mambo and that all user-supplied input is properly sanitized to prevent script injection.
