Description:
r0t has reported a vulnerability in CommonSpot, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed to the "bNewWindow" parameter in "loader.cfm" isn't properly sanitised before being returned to the user. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of an affected site.
It is also possible to disclose the full path to "loader.cfm" by accessing it with an invalid "url" parameter.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 4.5 and prior. Other versions may also be affected.
Solution:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
