Technical details
A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in CubeCart v6.x within the `classes/catalogue.class.php` file. The vulnerability is caused by a logic flaw where the `search[keywords]` parameter is passed to `setNotify()` via `sprintf()` without proper sanitization, but only when the search result count is exactly one. This specific condition bypasses existing global input filters. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this by tricking a user into clicking a crafted URL. Successful exploitation allows the execution of arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's browser session, potentially leading to session hijacking (cookie theft) or account takeover. The issue is fixed in version 6.7.0 by applying `htmlspecialchars` to the reflected keywords.
