CVE-2005-4260 (GCVE-0-2005-4260)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2005-12-15 11:00 – Updated: 2024-08-07 23:38
VLAI?
Summary
Interpretation conflict in includes/mainfile.php in PHP-Nuke 7.9 and later allows remote attackers to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks by replacing the ">" in the tag with a "<", which bypasses the regular expressions that sanitize the data, but is automatically corrected by many web browsers. NOTE: it could be argued that this vulnerability is due to a design limitation of many web browsers; if so, then this should not be treated as a vulnerability in PHP-Nuke.
