Discussion
PyBlosxom Atom Flavor Multiple XML Injection Vulnerabilities
PyBlosxom is prone to multiple XML-injection vulnerabilities because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied XML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, 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.
PyBlosxom 1.4.3 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
