## Technical details

A reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in OpenRapid RapidCMS 1.3.1 within the /system/update-run.php (also referenced as /admin/system/update-run.php) component. The root cause is the improper neutralization of user-supplied input in the 'version' GET parameter before it is reflected back to the user. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious URL and inducing a victim, typically an authenticated administrator, to visit it. Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, which can lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. No patch information was provided in the advisory.
