Synopsis

CKEditor < 47.6.0 Cross-Site Scripting

Description

According to its self-reported version number, the CKEditor application running on the remote host is prior to 47.6.0. It is, therefore, affected by a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the General HTML Support feature.

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 CKEditor version 47.6.0 or later.
