Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in W.M.R. Simpson BookReview Beta 1.0. This affects an unknown function of the file search.htm of the component Error Message Handler. The manipulation of the argument search[string] with an unknown input leads to a cross site scripting vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-80. The product receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special characters such as "<", ">", and "&" that could be interpreted as web-scripting elements when they are sent to a downstream component that processes web pages. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality. The summary by CVE is:

BookReview beta 1.0 allows remote attackers to obtain the path of the web server via certain parameters to search.htm, possibly due to a search[string] parameter with a missing value or an incorrect submit[type] value, which reveals the path in the resulting error message. NOTE: it is not clear whether BookReview is available to the public. If not, then it should not be included in CVE.
