Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Basic-CMS
Basic-CMS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. 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 may allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and to launch other attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to implement proper input validation and output encoding to prevent the execution of malicious script code. Additionally, enforcing the use of secure coding practices and regularly updating the CMS software can also help in reducing the risk of such vulnerabilities.
