      Auto Directory Index Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SUMMARY

     <http://autoindex.sourceforge.net/> AutoIndex is "a project whose goal is
    to create a "Windows Explorer" that can be used to browse through folders
    on websites", a cross site scripting vulnerability in the product allows
    remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML and or JavaScript into the web
    pages returned by the product.

    DETAILS

    Vulnerable systems:
     * Auto Directory Index version 1.2.3 and prior

    The vulnerability is caused due to missing validation of input supplied to
    the "dir" parameter. This can be exploited by including arbitrary HTML or
    script code in the parameter, which will cause it to be executed in a
    user's browser session when viewed.

    Example:
    http://[victim]/index.php?dir=< script>alert(document.domain);</script>
