Discussion
phpLinks Index.PHP Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
The phpLinks application is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails 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.
Versions 2.1.3.1 and prior are vulnerable to this issue; other versions may also be affected.
