Technical details

This is a reflected or stored cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability stemming from improper neutralization of script-related HTML tags in user-supplied input. The vulnerable component fails to properly sanitize or encode HTML tags before rendering them in web pages. An attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code through crafted input (such as query parameters or form fields) that executes in the victim's browser within the context of the vulnerable application. No authentication is required, and the attack vector is network-based. Affected versions: E-Commerce Pack before 5.03.01.49. A patch is available in version 5.03.01.49 or later.
