WWWISIS (Search) Multiple Vulnerabilities
The exploit allows an attacker to disclose local files and execute arbitrary scripts on the server. The Local File Disclosure vulnerability can be exploited by accessing the server's CGI script with a specially crafted path, while the Cross Siting Scripting vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious scripts into the server's CGI script.
Mitigation:
To mitigate the Local File Disclosure vulnerability, ensure that the server's CGI script properly sanitizes user input. To mitigate the Cross Siting Scripting vulnerability, implement input validation and output encoding to prevent script injection.
