Kohana · Kohana · CVE-2016-10510
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Kohana versions prior to 3.3.6
**Description**
A cross-site scripting (XSS) issue exists in the Security component, allowing remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML by bypassing the `strip image tags` protection mechanism in `system/classes/Kohana/Security.php`. This could potentially affect a significant number of devices, although the exact number is not specified.
**Recommendations**
For versions prior to 3.3.6, update to version 3.3.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `strip image tags` function in `system/classes/Kohana/Security.php` until a patch is available. Restrict access to the Security component to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the `system/classes/Kohana/Security.php` file in sensitive operations until the issue is resolved.
