HTTP: PHP-Fusion Administration Banner Stored Cross-Site Scripting

This signature detects attempts to exploit a known cross-site scripting vulnerability against PHP-Fusion. It is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A Successful attack can lead to arbitrary script code execution in the target user's browser.

Extended Description

An XSS vulnerability exists in the banners.php page of PHP-Fusion 9.03.50. This can be exploited because the only security measure used against XSS is the stripping of SCRIPT tags. A malicious actor can use HTML event handlers to run JavaScript instead of using SCRIPT tags.
