RSSOwl Atom Feed Script HTML Injection Vulnerability

RSSOwl is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the My Computer folder, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

Versions prior to RSSOwl 1.2.3 are vulnerable.
