Discussion

Pixie CMS SQL Injection and Cross Site Scripting Vulnerabilities

Pixie CMS is prone to multiple SQL-injection vulnerabilities and a cross-site scripting vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied data.

Exploiting these issues could allow an attacker to steal cookie-based authentication credentials, compromise the application, access or modify data, or exploit latent vulnerabilities in the underlying database.

Pixie CMS 1.04 is vulnerable; other versions may also be affected.
