HP webOS Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) Remote Script Code Injection Vulnerability

HP webOS is prone to a remote script-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this issue to use Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) applications to overwrite arbitrary files, which can aid in the execution of arbitrary HTML or JavaScript code within the context of the affected application.
