PyBlosxom Multiple XML-Injection Vulnerabilities
PyBlosxom is prone to multiple XML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Attacker-supplied XML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, 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 user-supplied data does not contain malicious code.
