WHMCS Cross-Site Scripting and HTML-Parameter-Pollution Vulnerabilities
WHMCS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and multiple HTML-parameter-pollution vulnerabilities because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input. Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would run in the context of the affected browser, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, control how the page is rendered to the user, and override existing hard-coded HTTP parameters which compromises the application.
Mitigation:
Input validation should be used to ensure that user-supplied data is properly sanitized.
