myPHPNuke Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

myPHPNuke does not adequately filter HTML code, making it prone to cross-site scripting attacks. It is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a legitimate user. All code will be executed within the context of the website running myPHPNuke, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users.

Mitigation:

Ensure that all user-supplied input is properly sanitized and filtered before being used in the application.
