Top Five Web Application Vulnerabilities 2/2/09 - 2/16/09

1) Cisco IOS HTTP Server Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Cisco IOS HTTP Server is susceptible to multiple instances of Cross-Site Scripting. Cross-Site Scripting occurs when dynamically generated web pages display user input, such as login information, that is not properly validated, allowing an attacker to embed malicious scripts into the generated page and then execute the script on the machine of any user that views the site.  A fix has not yet been released. Contact the vendor for additional information.

3) Bugzilla HTML Injection and Cross-Site Request Forgery Vulnerabilities

Bugzilla is susceptible to multiple vulnerabilities including HTML Injection and Cross-Site Request Forgery.
