      Mapquest.com Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

    Mapquest.com is an online mapping system that provides both maps and
    driving directions to a location inputted by a user. Unfortunately, their
    website suffers from a Cross Site scripting vulnerability that could allow
    an attacker to lure an unsuspecting victim into a JavaScript trap.

    DETAILS

    By forming a carefully crafted URL a remote attacker has the ability to
    perform cross site scripting on the mapquest.com website. The main file
    Mapquest uses to search is db for directions suffers from limited bounds
    checking while parsing a URL that allows an attacker to enter in
    JavaScript and HTML code.

    Example:
    http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?go=1&do=nw&2ex=1&src=maps&ct=NA&1y=US&
