CVE-2006-3257 · published 20 years ago
Summary

The Claroline 1.7.7 learning platform can be tricked into showing attacker‑supplied HTML or scripts on several pages, such as the calendar, documents, forums, tracking logs, and wiki. This could let a remote user run unwanted actions in a visitor’s browser, potentially stealing data or altering what the user sees. Update to a newer Claroline version or apply the vendor’s patches to remove the unsafe input handling.
