Dark Reading summarizes Checkmarx research that identified two XSS vulnerabilities on Gallup.com's public site — a reflected XSS (CVSS 6.5) and a DOM-based XSS (CVSS 5.4). Gallup patched the issues after disclosure; the report states the flaws did not affect internal systems or polling data and there is no evidence presented of active exploitation.
