SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA26648

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/26648/

CRITICAL:
Less critical

IMPACT:
Cross Site Scripting

WHERE:
From remote

SOFTWARE:
Absolute Poll Manager XE 4.x
http://secunia.com/product/15555/

DESCRIPTION:
Richard Brain and Adrian Pastor have reported a vulnerability in
Absolute Poll Manager XE, which can be exploited by malicious people
to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "msg" parameter in xlaapmview.asp (when "p" is
set to a numeric value) 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 version 4.1. Other versions may also
be affected.

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