citadel

A cross-site scripting vulnerability exists in Citadel versions prior to 994. When a malicious user sends an instant message with some JavaScript code, the script may be executed on the web browser of the victim user.

The embedded neutralization of Script-Related HTML Tag, was by-passed in the case of some extra conditions.

modules/xmpp/serv_xmpp.c in Citadel 7.86 and earlier does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted XML document containing a large number of nested entity references, a similar issue to CVE-2003-1564.
