Discussion

NewsGator FeedDemon Active Script Code-Execution Vulnerability

NewsGator FeedDemon is prone to an active script code-execution vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize Atom feed data prior to rendering the feed.

Successful exploits may result in active scripting content being executed in the context of the application. Note that the application uses the 'Internet Zone' to render the remote HTML content, lessening the impact of this issue.
