Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal
The following URLs demonstrate that it is possible to inject client side
script (such as Javascript) and HTML tags into the HTML form (1) and error message (2) output generated by the "advanced [PTS] subscription" script.
(1) http://packages.qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/pts.cgi?package=%22%3E%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS')%3B%3C/script%3E%3Cz=%22&what=advanced&email=@
(2)
http://packages.qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/pts.cgi?email=%3Cscript%3Ealert('XSS')%3B%3C/script%3E
While this is usually handled as a security issue, the implication seems
to very small so I'm tagging this as normal gravity.
Thanks for reading & possibly fixing,
Moritz

Yes, there's no sensitive information that could be grabbed by this
attack. However I fixed the script to strip any <, >, " and ' in the
external variables.
