Nullsoft SHOUTcast HTML-injection Vulnerability

Nullsoft SHOUTcast is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate dynamic content.
