PHP Code Snippet Library Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

PHP Code Snippet Library is reported prone to multiple 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 to the PHP Code Snippet Library site 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.
