Total Shop UK eCommerce CodeIgniter Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Total Shop UK eCommerce CodeIgniter is prone to multiple unspecified cross-site scripting vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage these issues to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This can allow the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks.

Mitigation:

Input validation should be used to ensure that untrusted data is not used to dynamically generate web pages. Additionally, applications should use a secure flag when setting cookies, and should use a combination of secure and HttpOnly flags to protect cookies from being accessed by client-side scripts.
