It has been reported that Auto Directory Index is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability. The issue is reported to exist due insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data through the 'dir' parameter, which will then be included in a dynamically generated web page. The problem may allow a remote attacker to execute HTML or script code in the browser of a user following a malicious link created by an attacker.

Auto Directory Index version 1.2.3 is reported to be prone to this issue, however other versions may be affected as well.
