Title: acFreeProxy Cross Site Scripting Vulnerability
Severity: HIGH
Description:
acFreeProxy is a freely available proxy server designed for use with Microsoft Windows operating systems.
It has been reported that acFreeProxy is prone to cross site scripting attacks. Specifically, acFreeProxy does not properly sanitize any user-supplied input when it generates error pages.
As this vulnerability exists in acFreeProxy, it is possible for a remote attacker to create a malicious link containing script code which will be executed in the browser of a legitimate user, in the context of any domain.
This issue may be exploited to steal cookie-based authentication credentials from legitimate users of the vulnerable software. Cookie-based authentication credentials may be used by the attacker to hijack the session of the legitimate user.
