NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream shaarli package and not the shaarli package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Shaarli before 0.8.5 and 0.9.x before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary code via the login form's username field (aka the login parameter to the ban_canLogin function in index.php).
