MySpace Scripts Poll Creator HTML Injection Vulnerability
The MySpace Scripts Poll Creator application is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. This allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML or JavaScript code that can run in the context of the affected site. This can potentially lead to the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and allow the attacker to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize user input before using it in dynamically generated content. This can be done by implementing input validation and output encoding techniques.
