IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:

DESCRIPTION:
Michal Majchrowicz has reported a vulnerability in phpPgAdmin, which
can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting
attacks.

Input passed via the URL to login.php through various scripts (e.g.
redirect.php) is not 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.

The vulnerability is reported in versions 3.5 to 4.1.1. Other
versions may also be affected.

NOTE: Other scripts are also reportedly affected.

SOLUTION:
Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised.
