Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap up to commit 49b20f5. The root cause is two-fold: first, the REST API endpoint '/index.php/api/product/set' is exposed without authentication (CWE-306) due to 'rest_auth' being disabled in the configuration. Second, the application fails to sanitize or encode the 'title' and 'description' arguments before storing them and subsequently rendering them in frontend templates (CWE-79). A remote, unauthenticated attacker can send a POST request to the hidden API to inject malicious JavaScript. The script executes when a victim views the affected product page. A patch has been released in commit d9785f9 which implements session-based authentication checks and HTML output encoding.
