Technical details

The vulnerability is a reflected XSS in /include/dialog/config.php where the adminDirHand parameter is not properly sanitized. An unauthenticated attacker can send a crafted GET request that closes the script tag context and injects arbitrary JavaScript, which executes client-side when the victim views the malicious URL. The attack requires user interaction (clicking a link) and network access.
