Checks for multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in Gossamer Links < 3.0.4 Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : The remote web server contains CGI scripts that are prone to cross- site scripting attacks. Description : The remote host is running Gossamer Links, a web links management tool from Gossamer Threads and written in Perl. The installed version of Gossamer Links fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input to various parameters of the 'user.cgi' and 'add.cgi' scripts, which are used by an administrator. 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.
