Discussion

PHPLinks Search HTML Injection Vulnerability

phpLinks is prone to HTML injection due to a vulnerability in the search feature.

Search queries are not sufficiently sanitized of HTML and script code. These search queries may potentially be displayed to other users when the most popular searches are viewed. If an attacker includes malicious HTML or script code in these queries, it is possible that the attacker-supplied code may be rendered in the web client software of other users.
