What is CVE-2013-3565?

The VLC Media Player contains multiple XSS vulnerabilities in its HTTP interface prior to version 2.0.7. Attackers can exploit these weaknesses by injecting arbitrary web scripts or HTML through specific parameters in requests, including 'command' in requests/vlm_cmd.xml, 'dir' in requests/browse.xml, or a URI in an error message response. This could lead to unauthorized actions being performed in the context of the user's session when interacting with the VLC Media Player.
