Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities in GoAhead WebServer

The GoAhead WebServer is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of a victim user, potentially leading to the theft of authentication credentials and other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in dynamic web content. Regularly updating to the latest version of GoAhead WebServer is also advised.

GoAhead WebServer is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

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 launch other attacks.

GoAhead WebServer 2.5 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
