Arc · Arc · CVE-2012-5873
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ARC (aka ARC2) through 2011-12-01
**Description**
The issue allows reflected XSS via the `end point.php` query parameter in an `output=htmltab` action. This can be exploited through the "/end point.php" API endpoint, specifically by manipulating the `output` parameter and the query parameters passed to it.
**Recommendations**
For ARC (aka ARC2) through 2011-12-01, consider restricting access to the `/end point.php` API endpoint, specifically when the `output` parameter is set to `htmltab`, until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, avoid using the `end point.php` query parameter in actions where `output=htmltab` to minimize the risk of exploitation.
