Discussion

MegaBook Multiple HTML Injection Vulnerabilities

MegaBook is prone to multiple HTML injection vulnerabilities. This is due to insufficient sanitization of HTML and script code from user-supplied input, including input supplied to the administrative login page and via the client HTTP User-Agent: header field. Exploitation of these issues could permit hostile HTML or script code to be injected into the guestbook system and rendered in the browser of a legitimate guestbook user.
