Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability in Edit-X PHP CMS

The Edit-X PHP CMS is vulnerable to a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack due to inadequate input sanitization. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting malicious script code into user-supplied input. When a victim user visits the affected site, the injected script code executes in their browser, allowing the attacker to steal their authentication credentials and launch further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize and validate user-supplied input. All input should be treated as untrusted and encoded or filtered to prevent script injection attacks. Additionally, implementing a Content Security Policy (CSP) can help mitigate XSS vulnerabilities.
