Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2005-2402 is a cross-site scripting issue in PHPSiteSearch 1.7.7d. An attacker could cause a vulnerable search page to display attacker-controlled script or HTML through the search query input. Business urgency depends on whether this old component is still deployed on a public site. Exposure is likely limited to sites still running PHPSiteSearch 1.7.7d with search.php reachable by users. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, so confirm by application inventory and source review rather than product banners alone. Prioritize if PHPSiteSearch is internet-facing or used in authenticated areas. The issue is old and severity is unspecified, but XSS can affect user trust, sessions, and site integrity. Mitigation focus: Check PHPSiteSearch vendor or maintainer guidance for an official fix or upgrade path.; Identify and retire unsupported PHPSiteSearch 1.7.7d deployments where practical.; Restrict public access to the vulnerable search page until remediation is complete..
