Cross-Site Scripting in SNewsCMS

SNewsCMS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content. An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize user input before using it in dynamically generated content. Input validation and output encoding should be implemented to prevent XSS attacks.
