Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in uBidAuction v2.0.1 due to improper neutralization of input in the 'filter' web module. Specifically, the parameters 'date_created', 'date_from', 'date_to', and 'created_at' are not properly sanitized before being rendered in the application's response. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious GET request containing a script payload and tricking a user (member or admin) into visiting the URL. Successful exploitation allows for the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking or unauthorized actions on behalf of the user.
