Synopsis

OpenCMS <= 18.0.0 Multiple Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the detected OpenCMS application is affected by multiple Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities :

- A Cross-Site Scripting vulnerability allows a remote attacker to inject a javascript payload via the image title sub-field in the image field.

- A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the author parameter.

- A stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability allows attackers to execute arbitrary web scripts or HTML via a crafted payload injected into the image parameter.

Note that the scanner has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to OpenCMS 18.0.0 or later.
