Title: YACY Peer-To-Peer Search Engine Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
YACY is a peer-to-peer search engine application implemented in Java. It is freely available under the GNU public license.
Multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities affect YACY. These issues are due to a failure of the application to properly sanitize user-supplied input prior to including it in dynamically generated content.
These issues reportedly affect the 'urlmaskfilter' parameter of the 'index.html' script and the 'page' parameter of the 'Wiki.html' script.
An attacker may leverage these issues to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
Affected Products:
- YACY Peer-To-Peer Search Engine 0.31.0
