Horde url Parameter Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Vulnerability Assessment Summary
Tries to exploit an XSS flaw in Horde's services/go.php

Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment

Summary :

The remote web server contains a PHP script that is affected by
multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities.

Description :

The version of Horde installed on the remote host fails to validate
input to the 'url' parameter of the 'services/go.php' script before
using it in dynamically generated content. An unauthenticated
attacker may be able to leverage this issue to inject arbitrary HTML
and script code into a user's browser.

In addition, similar cross-site scripting issues reportedly exist with
the 'module' parameter of the 'services/help/index.php' script and the
'name' parameter of the 'services/problem.php' script.
