Discussion

Contenido CMS Cross Site Scripting and Multiple Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

Contenido CMS is prone to a cross-site scripting vulnerability and multiple remote file-include vulnerabilities because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

An attacker can exploit these issues to execute malicious PHP code in the context of the webserver process. This may allow the attacker to compromise the application and the underlying system, execute script code in an unsuspecting user's browser, or steal cookie-based authentication credentials; other attacks are also possible.

These issues affect Contenido CMS 4.8.4; other versions may also be vulnerable.
