var-200802-0480
Vulnerability from variot

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in files created by Adobe RoboHelp 6 and 7, possibly involving use of a (1) WebHelp5 (WebHelp5Ext) or (2) WildFire (WildFireExt) extension, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-1280. Adobe RoboHelp is prone to an unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Few details are available regarding this issue. We will update this BID as more information emerges. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. The issue affects Adobe RoboHelp 6 and 7.

A new version (0.9.0.0 - Release Candidate 1) of the free Secunia PSI has been released. The new version includes many new and advanced features, which makes it even easier to stay patched.
