Technical details
A stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in kirilkirkov Ecommerce-CodeIgniter-Bootstrap up to commit 213babd. The vulnerability is located in the `checkForPostRequests` function within `application/core/MY_Controller.php`, which handles newsletter subscriptions. The application captures the `HTTP_USER_AGENT` header from the request and stores it directly into the `subscribed.browser` database field without sanitization. When an administrator accesses the 'Subscribed Emails' management page (`/admin/emails`), the stored value is rendered in the view (`application/modules/admin/views/settings/emails.php`) without output encoding. An unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted User-Agent header during a subscription request, leading to arbitrary script execution in the context of an authenticated administrator. A patch is available in commit 23105f2 which implements HTML tag stripping and output encoding.
