Attack vector
NETWORK Attack complexity
MEDIUM Privileges required
NONE Confidentiality impact
NONE Integrity impact
PARTIAL Availability impact
NONE Summary
index.php in Horde Application Framework before 3.1.2 allows remote attackers to include web pages from other sites, which could be useful for phishing attacks, via a URL in the url parameter, aka "cross-site referencing." NOTE: some sources have referred to this issue as XSS, but it is different than classic XSS.
