Minor flaw allows Hacker to hijack Avira Antivirus customers accounts

Egyptian information security advisor Ebrahim Hegazy (Zigoo) has found an XSS vulnerability in the Avira license. Avira team responded promptly and fixed the flaw in short time. Ebrahim has created 4 files: fake login page log.html, log log.php, log.txt and credentials. The log log will log the credentials as clear text into txt file avira.txt. It will show a congratulation message to fool the users. The hacker created the log log to log the user’s clear text data.
