Discussion

Forumwa Multiple Remote Input Validation Vulnerabilities

Forumwa is reportedly affected by multiple remote input validation vulnerabilities. These issues are due to the application failing to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

The application is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack permitting an attacker to construct a malicious link containing script code to be executed in the context of the affected site. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.

The application is vulnerable to a HTML injection attack. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be able to access properties of the site, potentially allowing for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials. An attacker could also exploit this issue to control how the site is rendered to the user, other attacks are also possible.
