SCA: security update for mautic/core (GHSA-9v8p-m85m-f7mm)

medium Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435186

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - SummaryA Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary JavaScript in
 the context of another user’s session. This occurs because user-supplied input is reflected back in the
 server’s response without proper sanitization or escaping, potentially enabling malicious actions such as
 session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions in the application. DetailsThe vulnerability
 resides in the “Tags” input field on the /s/ajax?action=lead:addLeadTags endpoint. Although the server
 applies sanitization before storing the data or returning it later, the payload is executed immediately in
 the victim’s browser upon reflection, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary JavaScript in the user’s
 session. ImpactA Reflected XSS attack can have a significant impact, allowing attackers to steal sensitive
 user data like cookies, redirect users to malicious websites, manipulate the web page content, and
 essentially take control of a user's session within an application by executing malicious JavaScript code
 within the victim's browser, even if the server-side code is secure; essentially enabling them to perform
 actions as if they were the logged-in user. References * Web Security Academy: Cross-site scripting
