DESCRIPTION:
A weakness and a vulnerability have been reported in NQcontent, which
can be exploited by malicious people to determine valid user accounts
and conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
1) The weakness is caused by the application returning detailed error
messages in case of a failed login. This can be exploited to enumerate
valid user accounts.
2) Input passed via the "login" POST parameter to admin/index.cfm 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.
SOLUTION:
Filter malicious characters and character sequences in a proxy.
