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.

Updates are available. Please see the references for more details.
