Discussion

SnippetMaster Webpage Editor Cross Site Scripting and Remote File Include Vulnerabilities

SnippetMaster Webpage Editor 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. The attacker may also execute script code in an unsuspecting user's browser or steal cookie-based authentication credentials; other attacks are also possible.

SnippetMaster Webpage Editor 2.2.2 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
