Discussion

Ex Libris ALEPH 500 CVE-2014-3718 Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

ALEPH 500 is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to sanitize user-supplied input.

Attacker supplied HTML and script code could be executed in the context of the affected site, 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.

ALEPH 500 18.1 and 20 are vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
