Cross-Site Scripting in eXV2 CMS

eXV2 CMS is prone to multiple cross-site scripting vulnerabilities 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 in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user input before displaying it on webpages. Implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can also help prevent cross-site scripting attacks.
