Description: An input validation vulnerability was reported in the Roundup issue tracking software. A remote user can conduct cross-site scripting attacks against Roundup users.
It is reported that the "client.py" script does not properly validate user-supplied input. A remote user can reportedly submit specially
crafted values so that when a target user views the Roundup entry, arbitrary scripting code will be executed by the target user's
browser. The code will originate from the site running the Roundup software and will run in the security context of that site. As
a result, the code will be able to access the target user's cookies (including authentication cookies), if any, associated with
the site, access data recently submitted by the target user via web form to the site, or take actions on the site acting as the
target user.
