Title: GNU Mailman Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
GNU Mailman is a freely available, open-source mailing list manager written in Python and C and maintained under the GPL. It runs on Linux and other Unix-based systems.
Mailman is prone to cross-site scripting attacks. It is possible to include malicious script code in a link to a site running Mailman. When a web user clicks the maliciously constructed link, the script code will be executed in the context of the Mailman site.
This example displays an alert box within the context of the site running Mailman:
http://host/mailman/listinfo/<img%20src=javascript:alert(document.domain)>
This vulnerability might be exploited to collect information about a web user or to possibly gain access to cookie-based authentication credentials.
