Novell · Banshee · CVE-2009-1175
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Banshee version 1.4.2
**Description**
The issue is related to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. It allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the `server` parameter in the `vs diag.cgi` file within the DAAP extension. This parameter is not properly handled in an error message, leading to potential exploitation.
**Recommendations**
For Banshee version 1.4.2, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the `vs diag.cgi` file in the DAAP extension to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `server` parameter in the affected API endpoint until the issue is resolved. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
