Technical details

The vulnerability is a stored XSS flaw in the /register.php file within the User Registration component. The last_name parameter is not properly sanitized or escaped before being stored and displayed, allowing an attacker to inject arbitrary JavaScript code. The attack is network-accessible and requires no authentication—an attacker can craft a malicious registration request with XSS payload in the last_name field. When other users view the affected page or user profile, the stored script executes in their browser context, enabling session hijacking, credential theft, or defacement. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and exploit code is available.
