CVE-2011-3635: XSS

First published: Thu Oct 20 2011(Updated: )

A cross-site scripting (XSS) flaw was found in the Adium theme for Empathy, an instant messaging client for GNOME, due to incorrect sanitization of the user nickname / alias, when new user joined a room. A remote attacker, valid Empathy user with specially-crafted nickname could send a message to particular IRC room, leading to arbitrary HTML or webscript execution, when the nickname was displayed by the theme.
