Adobe RoboHelp Security Update Fixes Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities


Description   Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Adobe RoboHelp Server and Adobe RoboHelp, which could be exploited to conduct cross site scripting attacks. These issues are caused by unknown input validation errors when processing user-supplied data or when using RoboHelp for Word to generate WebHelp, which could be exploited by attackers to cause arbitrary scripting code to be executed by the user's browser in the security context of an affected Web site.
