Description Jan Lieskovsky 2011-10-04 08:27:08 UTC
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) flaws were reported in phpPgAdmin:
1) the 'title' argument of a particular web page was not sanitized properly
   prior displaying the page header,
2) the return ULR ('return_url') and return link name ('return_desc') were
   not sanitized properly prior displaying the requested page data.

A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted URL, which once visited by an unsuspecting phpPgAdmin user could lead to arbitrary HTML or web script execution.
