Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in uBidAuction v2.0.1 due to improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'filter' module. Specifically, the parameters 'date_created', 'date_from', 'date_to', and 'created_at' are not properly sanitized before being rendered in the web page. A remote attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted GET request containing malicious JavaScript to a victim. Successful exploitation allows for session hijacking, client-side redirection, or phishing attacks. The vulnerability affects multiple endpoints including /news/manage, /orders/myOrders, and /auctions/manage.
