SQL Buddy "table" Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability


Description   Omar Kurt has discovered a vulnerability in SQL Buddy, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.
Input passed via the "table" GET parameter to browse.php (when "ajaxRequest" is set to e.g. "89" and "db" is set to e.g. "information_schema") 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 confirmed in version 1.3.3. Other versions may also be affected.
