Technical details

A reflected cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability exists in the `ticketsmdb_import.php` component of Open ISES Tickets. The application fails to sanitize multiple POST parameters—including mdbhost, mdbdb, mdbuser, mdbpassword, mdbprefix, ticketshost, ticketsdb, ticketsuser, ticketspassword, and ticketsprefix—before rendering them into the value attributes of hidden HTML input fields. An authenticated attacker can exploit this by crafting a malicious request that, when processed by a victim's browser, executes arbitrary JavaScript in the context of the victim's session. This vulnerability was addressed in version 3.44.2 by implementing proper output encoding using htmlspecialchars().
