Discussion
PABox Post Icon HTML Injection Vulnerability
paBox is reportedly affected by a HTML injection vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
The 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.
This issue is reported to affect paBox 2.0; earlier versions may also be vulnerable.
