Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the wp-pagenavi domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in ht://Dig

The ht://Dig software is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability. This occurs due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary HTML or script code in a user's browser session within the context of the affected site. This can lead to the theft of cookie-based authentication credentials and enable the attacker to launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize user-supplied input before using it in HTML output. Implementing strong input validation and output encoding can help prevent XSS attacks.
