Discussion

TestLink Cross Site Scripting and SQL Injection Vulnerabilities

TestLink is prone to multiple SQL-injection and cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Versions prior to TestLink 1.8.5 are vulnerable.
