GeniXCMS v0.0.3 is vulnerable to persistent and reflected XSS. Persistent XSS can be exploited by injecting malicious code into the content and title input fields. Reflected XSS can be exploited by sending a malicious URL containing a script to the victim. The script will be executed when the victim visits the URL.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to prevent malicious code from being injected into the content and title input fields. Additionally, the application should be configured to only accept requests from trusted sources.
