Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in FlatNuke

The FlatNuke application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input, resulting in a cross-site scripting vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary script code into the affected site, potentially leading to the execution of malicious scripts in the browser of unsuspecting users. This can be used to steal authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input sanitization and validation techniques. Additionally, developers should utilize output encoding when displaying user-supplied data to prevent script injection attacks.
