It aims to be User Friendly giving ease of use and lots of ways to customize web sites, but at the same time is Developer Friendly, it offers a simple and powerful framework to hack your own modules. TECHNICAL INFO ================================================================ The Glossary gadget doesn't filter dangerous characters in the argument view or ViewTerm ( according to the version) allowing the instertion of items from "<script>alert(document.cookie)</script> to more complex situations. Example: v0.5.x: http://url.com/index.php?gadget=Glossary&action=ViewTerm&term=<script src=some script</script> v 0.4: http://url.com/index.php?gadget=Glossary&action=view&term=<script src=some script></script> An attacker may leverage this issue to have arbitrary script code executed in the browser of an unsuspecting user. This may facilitate the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials as well as other attacks.
