Geeklog ‘profiles.php’ Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

The Geeklog 'profiles.php' script is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. This issue is due to insufficient sanitization of input submitted in URI parameters. As a result, an attacker may create a malicious link to a site hosting Geeklog, which contains malicious HTML or script code. When such a link is visited by an unsuspecting user, attacker-supplied script code will be interpreted by their web client.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
