Description: Truste's 'ivalidate.php' is used to validate "trusted" sites. Whilst the script does add slashes to quotes and closes <script> and <style> tags, there are a number of HTML tags it does not strip, including <linK>,<div>,<iframe>. This leaves the site open to attack from phishers wanting to make their site appear "trusted". Further information can be found here: http://wheresthebeef.co.uk/XSS/ TrustE.org were informed of the vulnerability through various e-mail addresses 5 days ago, they are yet to respond or fix the problem. _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
