Title: Dansie Search Engine 'search.pl' Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Dansie Search Engine is a Perl script that provides search functionality for websites.
The application is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input to the 'keywords' parameter of the 'search.pl' script.
An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.
This issue affects Dansie Search Engine 2.7; other versions may also be vulnerable
Affected Products:
