CVE-2006-2420 Information

Description

Bugzilla 2.20rc1 through 2.20 and 2.21.1 when using RSS 1.0 allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks via a title element with HTML encoded sequences such as >\ which are automatically decoded by some RSS readers. NOTE: this issue is not in Bugzilla itself but rather due to design or documentation inconsistencies within RSS or implementation vulnerabilities in RSS readers. While this issue normally would not be included in CVE it is being identified since the Bugzilla developers have addressed it.
