Description:
Monkey httpd comes with two scripts "/php/index.php" and "cgi-bin/test.pl", both are vulnerable to Cross Site Scripting.

The PHP script calls phpInfo() which accepts arbitrary input and returns it without further validation.

The Perl script accepts any character submitted and returns them without further validation.

Both scripts reveal system information and allows trivial Cross Site Scripting.

Solution:
The scripts should be removed from production systems.
