DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in Babylon, which can be exploited
by malicious people to conduct cross-site scripting attacks and
compromise a user's system.

The vulnerability is caused due insufficient input sanitation within
the embedded Trident control (Internet Explorer rendering engine) of
non-translated terms and can be exploited to execute arbitrary HTML
and script code in the Local Machine security zone.

Successful exploitation may allow execution of arbitrary code, but
requires tricking a user into translating malicious content.

The vulnerability is reported in versions prior to 8.0.7.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 8.0.7 or later.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Yair Amit and Roee Hay of IBM Rational Application Security Research
Group.
