CVSS v2.0
4.3
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PHPOpenChat versions 3.x
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML, potentially leading to cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks. This can be achieved via specific parameters in certain PHP files, including the
chatter parameter to regulars.php or the chatter, chatter1, chatter2, chatter3, or chatter4 parameters to register.php.Recommendations
For PHPOpenChat version 3.x, consider validating and sanitizing user input for the
chatter, chatter1, chatter2, chatter3, and chatter4 parameters in register.php and the chatter parameter in regulars.php to prevent arbitrary web script or HTML injection. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to regulars.php and register.php to minimize the risk of exploitation.Exploit
