Mephisto Blog Author Comment HTML Injection Vulnerability

Mephisto Blog 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 affected browser, 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.

Mephisto Blog 0.7.3 is vulnerable to this issue.
