NetCat CMS Multiple Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

NetCat CMS is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.

An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

NetCat CMS 5.0.1 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.

Attackers can exploit these issues by enticing an unsuspecting victim to follow a malicious URI.

The following example URIs are available:

http://www.example.com/?� onmouseover=�prompt(document.cookie)�bad=�>

http://www.example.com/search/?search_query=� onmouseover=prompt(document.cookie) bad=�
