Technical details

A Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in PluXml CMS within the Static Pages editing functionality. The root cause is improper neutralization of user-provided input (CWE-79) before it is stored and subsequently rendered in the web browser. An attacker with at least low-level editing privileges can inject arbitrary HTML and JavaScript into a static page. This payload executes in the context of any user who views the edited page, which could lead to session hijacking or unauthorized administrative actions. Versions 5.8.21 and 5.9.0-rc7 are confirmed vulnerable; the vendor has not yet provided a patch or official response regarding other versions.
