Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts 2.7.17 – ‘To remote CSV’ Reflected XSS

Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the 'To Remote CSV' component under 'Open' Menu in Flexmonster Pivot Table & Charts 2.7.17. The Reflected XSS is a result of insufficient input sanitization of the 'path' parameter when fetching the file specifications (file_specs.php). When using a malicious URL, the user navigates to an non-existing file (the XSS payload) which results in the execution of the payload.

Mitigation:

Input validation and sanitization should be implemented to prevent malicious input from being processed.
