Description:
Esteban Martínez Fayó has reported a vulnerability in Microsoft FrontPage Server Extensions, which can be exploited by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks.

Input passed to the "operation", "command", and "name" parameters in "/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll", which is used for administrative purposes, is not properly sanitised before being returned to users. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML and script code in a user's browser session in context of a vulnerable site.
