ContentLion Alpha 1.3 lets attackers run scripts on login

CVE-2012-1224 · published 14 years ago
Summary

The login.php file in ContentLion Alpha 1.3 does not properly clean up data that comes from the URL path, so a remote user can insert malicious web code. This can let an attacker steal information or take over a user’s session when they visit the login page. Apply the vendor’s security update or restrict/sanitize the PATH_INFO input to stop the problem.
