Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Active CMS
Active CMS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.An attacker may leverage this issue 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:
The vendor should ensure that user-supplied input is properly sanitized before using it in dynamically generated content. Users are advised to update to the latest version of Active CMS to mitigate this vulnerability.
