PHP Error Message Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability

PHP is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure in the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Exploitation of this issue requires PHP to be configured with 'display_errors' and 'html_errors' enabled in the local site configuration.
