Cross-Site Scripting in LiteSpeed Web Server

The LiteSpeed Web Server is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. The vulnerability exists because the application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary script code into a specific parameter of the affected site's URL. This can lead to the execution of malicious scripts in the victim's browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal authentication credentials and launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate all user-supplied input before using it in the application. Additionally, web application firewalls (WAFs) can be employed to detect and block XSS attacks.
