Discussion
KnowledgeTree 'search box' and 'search criteria' Fields Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerability
KnowledgeTree is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Successful exploits will allow attacker-supplied HTML and script code to 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.
KnowledgeTree 3.5.2 is vulnerable; prior versions may also be affected.
