Proofpoint Protection Server Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

Proofpoint Protection Server is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data. An attacker may leverage this issue 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 to launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied data before using it in dynamically generated web pages. Input validation and output encoding techniques should be implemented to prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
