The _bad_protocol_once function in phpgwapi/inc/class.kses.inc.php in KSES, as used in eGroupWare before 1.4.003, Moodle before 1.8.5, and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass HTML filtering and conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a string containing crafted URL protocols.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2008-1502 is an HTML filtering bypass in KSES as used by older eGroupWare and Moodle releases. If an affected application accepts user-supplied HTML, an attacker could get script content through filtering and cause cross-site scripting in another user's browser. Exposure is most likely in legacy PHP collaboration or learning platforms running the named vulnerable versions, or products bundling the same KSES code. Internet-facing user content, profiles, messages, forums, or admin-editable HTML increase practical risk. Treat this as a legacy application hygiene issue with business impact if affected platforms remain exposed. It is not KEV-listed in the bundle, but XSS in collaboration systems can affect user trust and account security. Mitigation focus: Upgrade eGroupWare to 1.4.003 or later if still deployed.; Upgrade Moodle to 1.8.5 or later if still deployed.; Identify other bundled KSES copies and check vendor advisories for fixed versions..
