Accela Civic Platform 21.1 – ‘successURL’ Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS)

Accela Civic Platform version 21.1 and prior is vulnerable to Cross-Site-Scripting (XSS) due to improper validation of the 'successURL' parameter. An attacker can craft a malicious URL with a malicious payload and send it to the victim. When the victim clicks on the URL, the malicious payload will be executed in the victim's browser.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be performed on all user-supplied data to ensure that it does not contain malicious code. Additionally, the application should use a whitelist of allowed characters and reject any input that does not match the whitelist.
