SonicWALL Content Filtering Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
SonicWALL Content Filtering is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input when displaying URI address data in a blocked-site error page. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of an arbitrary site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate web pages.
