Discussion
Mahara 'get_requested_host_name()' Function Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Mahara is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may let the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
Mahara versions prior to 1.5.12, 1.6.7, and 1.7.3 are vulnerable.
