Opencosmo VisualSentinel User Agent HTML Injection Vulnerability

Opencosmo VisualSentinel is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker-supplied HTML and script code injected through this vulnerability would execute in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
