Description Josh Bressers 2008-10-10 13:50:39 EDT

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the command-line client in MySQL 5.0.26 through 5.0.45, when the --html option is enabled, allows attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by placing it in a database cell, which might be accessed by this client when composing an HTML document.

Comment 2 Jan Lieskovsky 2009-05-14 13:21:32 EDT

The issue has been rated as having low security impact, as this can only be a security flaw when all following conditions are met:

1) A database contains untrusted third party data.
2) A site uses the mysql command line tool with the --html option.
3) The resulting HTML output is placed and viewed on a web site the attacker    
   could use to launch a cross-site-scripting attack.
