Discussion
PHPX XCode Tag HTML Injection Vulnerability
PHPX is prone to an HTML-injection vulnerability. The application fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before using it in dynamically generated content.
Attacker-supplied HTML and script code would be executed in the context of the affected website, potentially allowing an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials or to control how the site is rendered to the user; other attacks are also possible.
PHPX version 3.5.9 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
