Checks for search parameter cross-site scripting vulnerability in AutoIndex Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains a PHP script which is vulnerable to a cross site scripting issue. Description : The remote host is running AutoIndex, a free PHP script for indexing files in a directory. The installed version of AutoIndex fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to the 'search' parameter of the 'index.php' script. By leveraging this flaw, a possible hacker may be able to cause arbitrary HTML and script code to be executed by a user's browser within the context of the affected application, leading to cookie theft and similar attacks.
