Discussion
Xoops CVE-2017-12139 HTML Injection Vulnerability
Xoops is prone to a HTML-injection vulnerability because it fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input.
Successful exploits will result in the execution of arbitrary attacker-supplied HTML and script code in the context of the affected application, potentially allowing the attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or control how the page is rendered to the user. Other attacks are also possible.
Xoops 2.5.8 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
