WebBatch Cross-Site Scripting and Information Disclosure Vulnerabilities

WebBatch is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and an information-disclosure vulnerability because it fails to adequately sanitize user-supplied input. An attacker may leverage the cross-site scripting issue to execute arbitrary script code in the browser of an unsuspecting user in the context of the affected site. This may help the attacker steal cookie-based authentication credentials and launch other attacks. The attacker may leverage the information-disclosure issue to obtain potentially sensitive information that could aid in further attacks.

Mitigation:

To mitigate the cross-site scripting vulnerability, it is recommended to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamic web content. To mitigate the information-disclosure vulnerability, it is recommended to limit access to sensitive information and implement proper access controls.
