Title: FipsGuestbook New_Entry.ASP HTML Injection Vulnerability

Severity: MODERATE

Description:

fipsGuestbook is web-based guestbook application. It is implemented in ASP and VBScript and available for Microsoft Windows operating systems.

fipsGuestbook does not sufficiently sanitize form data of HTML and script code. This issue exists in the 'new_entry.asp' script. Attackers may inject HTML and script code via the "Name" field of the guestbook. This code will be displayed and possibly interpreted when the guestbook is viewed by other users. Hostile code injected in this manner will be interpreted in the context of the site hosting the guestbook software.

Exploitation of this issue could allow for theft of cookie-based authentication credentials or other attacks.

This issue was reported in fipsGuestbook 1.12.7. Other versions may also be affected.
