Total Shop UK eCommerce URL Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability


Description   Reaction Information Security has discovered a vulnerability in Total Shop UK eCommerce, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the URL to e.g. index.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.
Successful exploitation requires that the victim uses a browser that does not URL-encode the request (e.g. Internet Explorer 6).
The vulnerability is confirmed in the Open Source version 2.1.2. Other versions may also be affected.
