The Subset maker of the affected php-font-lib versions is vulnerable to a Reflected Cross-site Scripting.

Vulnerability Information  
==================  
Vulnerability: Reflected Cross-site Scripting  
CVE Identifier: CVE-2014-2570  
CVSSv2 Base Score: 5.0 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N)  
CWE Identifier: CWE-79 - Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation ('Cross-site Scripting')  
Affected releases: 0.3  
  
Vulnerability details  
==============  
The make_subset.php script in the ‘www’ directory does not sanitize the contents of the ‘name’ parameter before echoing it to the user. The vulnerable piece of code is shown below:  
  
<h1><?php echo $name ?></h1>  
  
This vulnerability can be used to inject Javascript code to be rendered by the browser. An attacker must trick the user to access a crafted URL (using social engineering, e.g.) for a successful attack.
