ownCloud Multiple Cross Site Scripting and HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

ownCloud is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities and an HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

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 control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.

ownCloud versions prior to 4.0.2 are vulnerable.
