Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in diskover-community <= 2.3.5 within the 'public/selectindices.php' component. The root cause is the failure to sanitize the 'namecontains' GET parameter before echoing it into both an HTML href attribute and a JavaScript 'window.location.href' string. An attacker can exploit this by crafting a URL that includes a malicious payload (e.g., using double quotes to break out of the JavaScript string context). When an authenticated user visits the link, the script executes in their browser context, allowing for session cookie exfiltration or unauthorized actions. The vulnerability requires user interaction (clicking a link) and is most effective against authenticated users.
