Summary
Sourcefabric Newscoop is prone to multiple cross-site scripting and SQL-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie- based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.
Sourcefabric Newscoop 3.5.4 is vulnerable
prior versions may also
be affected.
Solution
