This can be exploited to insert arbitrary HTML and script code, which will be executed in a user's browser session in context of an affected site when the malicious data is being viewed Successful exploitation of this vulnerability requires "Module manager" permissions. 2) The application allows users to perform certain actions via HTTP requests without performing any validity checks to verify the requests. This can be exploited to e.g. change the administrative password or edit the module values by tricking a logged in administrative user into visiting a malicious web site. The vulnerabilities are confirmed in version 2.9.0. Other versions may also be affected. SOLUTION: Edit the source code to ensure that input is properly sanitised. Do not browse untrusted websites or follow untrusted links while logged in to the application.
