It is easy for an attacker to insert arbitrary strings into any web server logfile. If these strings are then analysed by analog, they can appear in the report. By this means an attacker can introduce arbitrary Javascript code, for example, into an analog report produced by someone else and read by a third person. Analog already attempted to encode unsafe characters to avoid this type of attack, but the conversion was incomplete. This problem has been fixed in the upstream version 5.22 of analog. Unfortunately patching the old version of analog in the stable distribution of Debian instead is a very large job that defeats us. We recommend that you upgrade your analog package immediately. wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
